him the opportunity to dedicate himself to his service of sublime love, so that he will gradually forget his hallucination.

The Lord Krishna is the refuge and protector of all submissive souls.

In the material universe, in contrast to the absolute realm, duality reigns. Indeed, it is based on both the material and the spiritual, while the absolute realm is purely spiritual. The Lord is the only refuge for the submissive soul desiring to free itself from the dual existence and the fear that accompanies it. And indeed, no one in the material universe can escape the cruel hands of death, unless they surrender themselves to the Lord. The Lord is equal to all beings, but his devotee, to live always in contact with the infinitely great, God, obtains more glory. The Lord distributes his mercy equally to all beings, but holy beings wholly dedicated to his service enjoy it fully. The Lord always shows himself equal to all beings. Nevertheless, He shows particular benevolence towards His devotees, for He thus promotes the good of all beings.

The unfortunate, the needy, the intelligent man and the curious mind, when they have performed acts of piety, generally begin, if they have not already done so, to worship the Lord. The others, whose existence is a series of misdeeds, cannot, whatever their position, approach the Supreme Being, for the illusory energy leads them astray. Now, when misfortune occurs, the pious man has no other choice but to take refuge with the Lord, because to keep constantly in his mind the mind of the Lord is to walk on the path of the liberation of births. and repeated deaths. For those who have developed this attitude, misfortunes disappear. Truly they are welcome, since they enable him to cultivate the remembrance of the Lord, that is, to escape from material existence. Anyone who has taken refuge with the Lord rather than with the great authorities in spiritual matters, can obtain release without more harm than if they leaped over the water contained in the imprint left on the ground by the hoof of a calf. He is called to live in the kingdom of the Lord, and has no place in the material universe, where new dangers lie in wait for him at every step. The material cosmos is a place of dangers, strewn with pitfalls and a source of constant suffering.

To surrender to God and take refuge in Him, has put an end to all this.
