सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज । अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
Translation
Abandon all other pursuits and take refuge in me alone. I will free you from all suffering; do not grieve.
Explanation
It's notable that this famously distilled instruction still asks for one specific thing — refuge — rather than for total passivity. It isn't advice to stop acting or caring about anything; it's an invitation to stop trying to carry every burden entirely alone.
Reflect
What burden are you currently carrying entirely alone that doesn't actually need to be carried alone?
