Mukti· LiberationDevotional Practice Awakens Love for Kṛṣṇa
“Transcendental love for Me arises by the devotional processes of hearing about Me, seeing My Deity form, meditating on Me and faithfully chanting My glories. The same result is not achieved by mere physical proximity. So please go back to your homes.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa says transcendental love for Him arises through hearing about Him and seeing His Deity form.
- Meditating on Him and faithfully chanting His glories also awaken this love.
- Mere physical proximity does not produce the same result. The purport calls Kṛṣṇa’s arguments formidable.
