Mukti· LiberationStay Absorbed in Devotional Service
“Even while engaged in various activities, devotees whose minds are completely absorbed at Your lotus feet, and who constantly hear, chant, contemplate and cause others to remember Your transcendental names and forms, are always on the transcendental platform, and thus they can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- One who dedicates activities, mind and words to the Lord’s service can be liberated in any condition of life. Even in a material body, such a devotee is transcendentally situated.
- Hearing is the most important process of devotional service. We should hear from pure devotees, the spiritual master and Vedic literature, rather than from nondevotees.
- Practical service, such as distributing Kṛṣṇa literature, keeps the mind absorbed in the Lord’s lotus feet. Through hearing, chanting and remembering, devotees can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
