the soul gets completely composed.
 
'स वै पुंसां परो धर्मों यतो भक्तिरधोक्षजे ।
तस्मादेकेन मनसा भगवान् सात्त्वतां पतिः ।
श्रोतव्यः कीर्तितव्यश्च ध्येयः पूज्यश्च नित्यदा ॥
 
"Indeed, that is the greatest Dharma
for men, by which there shall be devotion
for Hari. Therefore, single-minded, one
must listen to (the story of) Lord Hari,
sing of Him, contemplate and worship
Him always.
 
• वासुदेवपरा वेदाः वासुदेवपराः क्रियाः ॥
वासुदेवपरो धर्मो वासुदेवपरा गतिः ।
 
"It is Hari who is the import of the
Vedas; it is Hari for whom all rituals are
intended; it is Hari who is the object
of all Dharmas; it is Hari who is the
ultimate goal.
