Mukti· LiberationA Pure Heart Shines Clearly
“Free of clouds and filled with clearly visible stars, the autumn sky shone brilliantly, just like the spiritual consciousness of one who has directly experienced the purport of the Vedic scriptures.”
What the purport teaches
- The clear, starry autumn sky resembles the spiritual consciousness of someone who has directly experienced the meaning of the Vedic scriptures.
- The sky can also be compared to the pure heart of a devotee.
- The spiritual nature, called vaikuṇṭha, is always brilliant, clean and blissful. It immediately satisfies all the desires of the soul; this is the secret of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
