Srimad Bhagavatam 11:12:14,15

 

तस्मात् त्वम् उद्धवोत्सृज्य चोदनां प्रतिचोदनाम्

प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च श्रोतव्यं श्रुतम् एव च

माम् एकम् एव शरणम् आत्मानं सर्व-देहिनाम्

याहि सर्वात्म-भावेन मया स्या ह्य् अकुतो-भयः

 

Since the Chanting of my Divine Names is so powerful, you need not worry about fate or interdictions, doing an activity or renouncing all activities, what has been learnt or what should be learnt.

 

O Uddhava! surrender to Me alone, the self of all beings, with all your being; for with Me alone you can be free from fears from all quarters.
