IN SHORT Confusion feels impossible to cross alone, but trust can carry you through.
Maya is called divine, not demonic: it belongs to Krishna and yields to surrender. Self-effort alone cannot ford it. Refuge is the bridge across bewilderment. Like crossing a flooded road holding the hand of one who knows the way.
