Depending on Krishna...

Verse 1.13.19 (Ramana Pr):

* In the last few verses, Vidhura is trying to make the same point to Dhristarashtra.
* Death will come surely at some point of time.
* Fear arises due to this.
* But knowledge of Krishna will help us go beyond this.
* If we depend on ourselves, we will never surrender. But if we depend on Krishna, surrender to Him, then surely He will protect us.
* Most effective remedy is to take shelter of Krishna.
* Another thing: taking association of wonderful Vaisnavas.
* Then will come abhaya (fearlessness) and bliss.
* One who desires abhaya must meditate on the holy name of the Lord.
* Constant remembrance of Krishna should be our goal.
* Thus Vidhura was trying advise Dhritarashtra.
