Seek the source

tataḥ padaṃ tatparimārgitavyaṃ yasmingatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥtameva cādyaṃ puruṣaṃ prapadyeyataḥ pravṛttiḥ prasṛtā purāṇī

Then seek that place from which none return, thinking, I take refuge in the first Person, from whom the ancient stream of life flowed forth.

What it means

After cutting the roots of clinging, Krishna says, seek the source. The place from which no one falls back. And pray simply, I take refuge in that first Person, from whom the whole ancient flow of creation began. Letting go isn't the end. It frees us to turn toward the source.

The story

Arjuna has been letting go of fears and false ideas all day. Krishna shows him where to turn next, not into emptiness, but into the arms of the source.

In your life

Think of someone who, after a painful letting go, found a deeper sense of meaning through faith or nature. When you release something, turn toward what you love most. Fill the space with that.
