The Smart Aspirant

“ Forsaking all dharma, seek refuge only in me.” Bhagabat Gita, 18-66.

With all that is sacred, always with pure intent,
having uprooted everything,
love, delight, and sweet affection,
those who are devoted to His divine feet,
with ardor only for Him,
they are very smart.

Shri Annada Thakur
Ramkrishna Manoshikhsha.
