Mukti· LiberationLoving Service Reveals Lord Kṛṣṇa
“Only those who render unreserved, uninterrupted, favorable service unto the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa, who carries the wheel of the chariot in His hand, can know the creator of the universe in His full glory, power and transcendence.”
What the purport teaches
- Only pure devotees can know Lord Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental name, form and activities. They serve Him without reservation, interruption or desire for personal profit.
- Everyone serves the Lord either directly or indirectly. Devotees serve Him favorably under the direction of His beloved agent.
- The Lord Himself guides pure devotees toward realization because they constantly engage in His loving service. Fruitive activities and mental speculation do not qualify one to enter the kingdom of God.
