Āśraya· The supreme shelterLearn Through Service And Disciplic Succession
“O best of persons, O supreme director, those who actually aspire for supreme good fortune worship this form of Your Lordship according to the Vedic Tantras. My Lord, we can see all the three worlds in You.”
What the purport teaches
- Those who desire supreme good fortune worship the Lord’s form according to Vedic instructions. Everything exists in the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- One should approach a spiritual master, inquire submissively and render service. A self-realized soul can impart knowledge because he has seen the truth.
- Lord Brahmā is a self-realized authority, and one must accept the disciplic succession from him to understand the Lord fully. One who worships the Lord can see everything in Him and Him in everything.
