If one sets out to speak of this “Śaraṇāgati”, there is no end to what can be said. Man in the world takes refuge in many kinds of abhimāna, mamakāra, Ahaṅkāra and pretension, and in the pursuit of wealth, gold, possessions and vehicles. But the good fortune of taking refuge in God does not come to him easily. How could it? People take the joy of things as their support, but forget the form of the support itself, the sustainer of things. How long can what is supported last without a support? Indeed, is there anything at all that is supported without a support? If they say there is, it is nothing other than “Paramātma”; there is nothing else. So to take shelter in the Lord of all, the support of all, is true Śaraṇāgati. But to take refuge in impermanent objects, which are themselves only supported, is ignorance.
