Mukti· LiberationImmerse Yourself in the Lord’s Glories
“Therefore, O master of the three worlds, the wise get rid of all misery by diving deep into the nectarean ocean of topics about You, which washes away all the contamination of the universe. Then what to speak of those who, having by spiritual strength rid their minds of bad habits and freed themselves from time, are able to worship Your true nature, O supreme one, finding within it uninterrupted bliss?”
What the purport teaches
- Because the Vedas declare the Personality of Godhead supreme and the cause of all causes, thoughtful persons should worship Him. Hearing and chanting His glories loosen attachment to materialistic life and help dispel distress.
- Mature devotees immerse themselves fully in the ocean of the Lord’s glories. Reciprocating their sincere endeavors, He empowers them to realize His personal form.
- Remembering the Lord’s intimate pastimes frees devotees from subtle mental contamination. Devotional service purifies them, and worship of the Supreme Lord brings eternal happiness.
