Mukti· LiberationSee Everything Within Kṛṣṇa
“According to My instructions, one should fix the mind on Me alone. If, however, one continues to see many different values and goals in life rather than seeing everything within Me, then although apparently awake, one is actually dreaming due to incomplete knowledge, just as one may dream that one has wakened from a dream.”
What the purport teaches
- Everything rests within Lord Kṛṣṇa. Without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one cannot understand this or retire from material sense gratification.
- One may consider oneself saved while remaining attached to the material world. This resembles dreaming that one has awakened.
- Judging material things as good or bad without reference to devotional service leaves one covered by false identification with matter.
