Āśraya· The supreme shelterAll Accomplishments Are Found in Kṛṣṇa
“Through analytic knowledge, ritualistic work, mystic yoga, mundane business and political rule, people seek to advance in religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation. But because you are My devotee, whatever men can accomplish in these multifarious ways you will very easily find within Me.”
What the purport teaches
- People pursue knowledge, ritualistic work, mystic yoga, business and political rule to attain the four goals of human life.
- Kṛṣṇa tells His devotee that whatever people accomplish through these paths can very easily be found within Him.
- Lord Kṛṣṇa is the basis of all that exists. One who takes exclusive shelter of Him never suffers any loss for that intelligent decision.

What concern makes it difficult for me to trust in taking shelter of Kṛṣṇa?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
