FAQs
This verse presents detachment (freedom from dependence on outward aims) as the mark of mature devotion—when the mind rests in Vishnu alone, divine grace naturally follows.
It emphasizes an inward, steady mind established in Vishnu; such devotion is portrayed as superior to worldly pursuits and becomes the basis for receiving the “parama vara” (supreme boon).
Vishnu is shown as the ultimate refuge and sovereign giver of boons, responding not to ritual or status but to pure, objectless devotion centered on Him.
