Conclusion—The Perfection of Renunciation Chapter 18: Verse- 66 With faith and love, one should surrender unto Him. The process of surrender to krsna is described in the änukülyasya sankalpah prätikülyasya varjanam raksisyatiti visväso goptrtve varanam tathä ätma-niksepa-kärpanye sad-vidhä saranägatih According to the devotional process, one should simply accept such religious principles that will lead ultimately to the devotional service of the Lord. One may perform a particular occupational duty according to his position in the social order, but if by executing his duty one does not come to the point of krsna consciousness, all his activities are in vain. Anything that does not lead to the perfectional stage of krsna consciousness should be avoided. One should be confident that in all circumstances krsna will protect him from all difficulties. There is no need of thinking how one should keep the body and soul together.krsna will see to that. One should always think himself helpless and should consider krsna the only basis for his progress in life. As soon as one seriously engages himself in devotional service to the Lord in full Krsna consciousness, at once he becomes freed from all contamination of material nature. There are different processes of religion and purificatory processes by cultivation of knowledge, meditation in the mystic yoga system, etc., but one who surrenders unto krsna does not have to execute so many methods. That simple surrender unto krsna will save him from unnecessarily wasting time. One can thus make all progress at once and be freed from all sinful reactions. One should be attracted by the beautiful vision of Krsna. His name is krsna because He is all-attractive. One who becomes attracted by the beautiful, all-powerful, omnipotent vision of krsna is fortunate. There are different kinds of transcendentalists—some of them are attached to the impersonal Brahman vision, some of them are attracted by the Supersoul feature, etc., but one who is attracted to the personal feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and, above all, one who is attracted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead as krsna Himself, is the most perfect transcendentalist. In other words, devotional service to Krsna, in full consciousness, is the most confidential part of knowledge, and this is the essence of the whole Bhagavad-gita. Karma-yogis, empiric philosophers, mystics and devotees are all called transcendentalists, but one who is a pure devotee is the best of all. The particular words used here, mä sucah, “Don’t fear, don’t hesitate, don’t worry,” are very significant. One may be perplexed as to how one can give up all kinds of religious forms and simply surrender unto Krsna, but such worry is useless.
