Verse 38

³²Questioned in this way by Nimi, Vasudeva, those greatest of men honoured him back and spoke gladly to the king, with his assembly and his priests there. ³³I hold that unbroken worship here of the Unfallen's lotus feet has nothing in it to fear from any side. There the fear that comes to an unsettled mind from taking the unreal for oneself turns back entirely. ³⁴The ways the Bhagavan has himself spoken, by which men who do not know may easily reach the self: know those to be the dharma of the Lord's own. ³⁵Standing on them, king, a man never comes to grief. Even running here with his eyes shut he would not stumble and would not fall.

³⁶Whatever he does with body, with speech, with mind, with the senses, with the understanding or with the self, following the nature he was given, all of it he should hand over, saying: to the highest, to Narayana. ³⁷Fear comes of settling into a second thing. To a man turned away from the Lord come the turning upside down of things, and forgetting. Since these are of the Lord's maya, the wise man should worship him with one undivided devotion, holding him as teacher, as god and as self. ³⁸Though there is no such pair, it shines out to the one who thinks it, by his own thought, as a dream does, or a daydream. So the wise man should hold in the mind that makes and unmakes plans for work; and then there is no fear.
