Mukti· LiberationThe Lord’s Lotus Feet Fulfill Life
“Śrī Varuṇa said: Now my body has fulfilled its function. Indeed, now the goal of my life is achieved, O Lord. Those who accept Your lotus feet, O Personality of Godhead, can transcend the path of material existence.”
What the purport teaches
- Seeing the infinitely beautiful body of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Varuṇa felt that having a material body was now fully justified.
- Varuṇa declared that the goal and real value of his life had been achieved through seeing the Lord.
- Kṛṣṇa’s form is transcendental, not material. Those who accept His lotus feet go beyond the boundary of material existence.
