Mukti· LiberationLoving Service to Kṛṣṇa Is Life’s Goal
“After asking various questions and becoming established in the transcendental loving service of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Vidura retired from putting questions to Maitreya Muni.”
What the purport teaches
- The highest goal of life is transcendental loving service to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As Govinda, He satisfies His devotees in all respects.
- Neither fruitive activities nor dry philosophical speculation can give lasting satisfaction. By nature, the living being is the eternal servant of the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
- A sincere seeker should approach a bona fide spiritual master and inquire intelligently. Vidura’s inquiries reached their fulfillment when he became established in loving devotional service to Govinda.
