Mukti· LiberationLoving Service Is Our True Interest
“Certainly expert personalities, who can see their own true interest, render unmotivated and uninterrupted devotional service directly unto Me, for I am most dear to the soul.”
What the purport teaches
- All who recognize their true self-interest take to loving service to the Lord. Kṛṣṇa is the real object of love for everyone.
- Every living being is a spiritual spark of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Our primary loving attraction is therefore naturally meant for Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
- Devotional service should be without personal motive and uninterrupted. Mental speculation, selfish desire, and changing circumstances should not obstruct it.

Ask yourself
What personal expectation could I set aside in my service to Kṛṣṇa?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
