🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 66)
English Translation:
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
Meaning:
In moments of loss and uncertainty, surrendering to the Divine with trust can bring profound relief. The Gita reminds us that surrender is not weakness but a doorway to liberation from suffering and fear.
