Texto

Who, then, could dare reject You, the very Soul, the most dear object of worship, and the Supreme Lord of all -- You who give all possible perfections to the devotees who take shelter of You? Who could be so ungrateful, knowing the benefits You bestow? Who would reject You and accept something for the sake of material enjoyment, which simply leads to forgetfulness of You? And what lack is there for us who are engaged in the service of the dust of Your lotus feet?

Significado

As stated in the Narayaniya of the Moksha-dharma, in Sri Mahabharata,

ya vai sadhana-sampattih

purushartha-catushtaye

taya vina tad apnoti

naro narayanasrayah

"Whatever among the four goals of human life can be achieved by various spiritual practices is automatically achieved without such endeavors by the person who has taken shelter of Lord Narayana, the refuge of all persons." Thus a Krishna conscious person knows that he will obtain all perfection of life simply by surrendering to the devotional service of Lord Krishna. This is the highest stage of yoga, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita.
