Mukti· LiberationPrepare for Godhead Through Devotional Service
“Kuntī, after overhearing Arjuna’s telling of the end of the Yadu dynasty and disappearance of Lord Kṛṣṇa, engaged in the devotional service of the transcendental Personality of Godhead with full attention and thus gained release from the course of material existence.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord and the Yadu dynasty disappeared from earthly sight; they were not annihilated. The setting sun similarly remains existent though unseen.
- Kuntī fully engaged herself in devotional service to the transcendental Personality of Godhead. Through this full attention, she gained release from material existence.
- Devotional service begins spiritualizing the present body and prepares one to return to Godhead. The Lord’s abode cannot be reached by material means.
