TRANSLATION

“The man to whom the Lord shows His mercy by inspiring him within the
heart takes shelter only of Lord Krsna and abandons all Vedic and social
customs.

PURPORT
This is also the teaching of Bhagavad-gita:

sarva-dharmdan parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja

aham tvdm sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah

“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. | shall deliver you
from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.” (Bg. 18.66) Such firm faith in the Supreme
Personality of Godhead is possible only by the mercy of the Lord. The Lord is sit-
ting within everyone's heart, and when He personally inspires His devotee, the
devotee does not stick to the Vedic principles or social customs but rather
devotes himself to the transcendental loving service of the Lord. This is confirmed
in the following verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (4.29.47).
