Mukti· LiberationService Satisfies; the Lord Remains Free
“Material activities never entangle the devotees of the Supreme Lord, who are fully satisfied by serving the dust of His lotus feet. Nor do material activities entangle those intelligent sages who have freed themselves from the bondage of all fruitive reactions by the power of yoga. So how could there be any question of bondage for the Lord Himself, who assumes His transcendental forms according to His own sweet will?”
What the purport teaches
- Devotees of the Supreme Lord are fully satisfied by serving the dust of His lotus feet. Material activities do not entangle them.
- Intelligent sages who have removed the bondage of fruitive reactions through yoga are also not entangled by material activities.
- There can therefore be no question of bondage for the Lord Himself. He assumes His transcendental forms according to His own sweet will.
