“In this path there is no loss of effort, and there is no harm. Even a little advancement on this path protects one from the greatest fear.”
Sanskrit
नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते | स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात् ||
Transliteration
nehābhikrama-nāśo 'sti pratyavāyo na vidyate svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt
Commentary
Unlike material endeavors where failure means loss, spiritual effort is never wasted. Even slight progress on this path provides protection from the cycle of birth and death.
