Mukti· LiberationRemember Kṛṣṇa With Devotion
“If even only once or even by force one brings the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead into one’s mind, one can attain the supreme salvation by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, as did Aghāsura. What then is to be said of those whose hearts the Supreme Personality of Godhead enters when He appears as an incarnation, or those who always think of the lotus feet of the Lord, who is the source of transcendental bliss for all living entities and by whom all illusion is completely removed?”
What the purport teaches
- Simply by thinking of Kṛṣṇa, one can attain Him very easily. His lotus feet are always within the hearts of His devotees.
- Although Aghāsura intended to kill Kṛṣṇa, he thought of Him for a moment with devotion. Kṛṣṇa accepted that moment of devotion and granted him salvation.
- Devotees always engage in glorifying Kṛṣṇa. One who always thinks of Him attains special salvation as His personal associate.
