Sharanagata Mantra: August 1 - August 15

~~OM~~

Who is Dear to the Lord?

Consciousness (Sri Ram) said, "Listen my Friend, I will tell you my intrinsic nature which is known by the wise crow Bhushundi, Who radiates Peace, and the Daughter of the Mountain.
If any man, even a traitor to the world which moves and does not move, comes to Me to take refuge from fear with full consciousness, and renounces arrogance, delusion, and various forms of deceitful behavior, I make him a sadhu very quickly. Mother, father, brother, children, wife, body, wealth, home, friends, and family, if one renounces all attachments and binds himself to my feet with no other desire than Me, he sees all with equilibrium, his mind is always happy, and he knows neither grief nor fear. Such true beings reside in my heart, just like the thought of wealth resides in a greedy man."

From Sundar Kand, p 118-119
