The opinion here is that \u201cIt does not matter whether you attain him or not, he is always protecting you. In the same way, it does not matter whether he protects you or not, you must always consider him as your refuge\u201d.<\/p>\n We will take up the 24th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr tells his heart \u201cIt does not matter whether you attain him or do not.
