The Doorway Amid Busyness · No Need to Withdraw

सर्वकर्माण्यपि सदा कुर्वाणो मद्व्यपाश्रयः । मत्प्रसादादवाप्नोति शाश्वतं पदमव्ययम् ॥

sarva-karmāṇy api sadā kurvāṇo mad-vyapāśrayaḥ mat-prasādād avāpnoti śāśvataṁ padam avyayam

Meaning

"Even while always performing all actions, one who takes refuge in Me attains, by My grace, the eternal, imperishable abode."

Explanation

You don't have to withdraw from your busy life to find something eternal — the doorway is available right in the middle of your ordinary, everyday activity.
