Āśraya· The supreme shelter

See Everything Resting on the Supreme

“The sannyāsī should always try to see the Supreme pervading everything and see everything, including this universe, resting on the Supreme.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 7.13.4, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The sannyāsī should always try to see the Supreme pervading everything.
  • He should see everything resting on the Supreme.
  • This vision includes the entire universe, not merely what is immediately around him.

Try this today

Pause once today, look around, and reflect that everything you see rests on the Supreme.

Ask yourself

Do I remember that everything around me rests on the Supreme?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points, practice and question are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport. Read the full purport to go deeper.
