جو عظیم روحیں ہمیشہ نارائن کے سمرن میں مشغول اور پرِگ्रह (ملکیت کی لالسا) سے دستبردار ہوں، اُن کے لیے سخت سنسار-بھَو کا بندھن کیسے ہو سکتا ہے؟ اگر وہ اس سنگت کی طرف کھنچ بھی جائیں تو بھی وہ مکتی کے حصّہ دار رہتے ہیں۔

FAQs
It declares that unwavering remembrance of Nārāyaṇa combined with renunciation of possessiveness (parigraha) dissolves saṃsāric bondage; such devotees are intrinsically oriented toward mokṣa.
Bhakti is presented as continuous smaraṇa (anusmaraṇa) of Nārāyaṇa; when devotion is steady, even incidental contact with worldly influences cannot firmly bind the devotee.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-based—daily discipline of smaraṇa and cultivation of vairāgya (non-possessiveness).
