Mukti· LiberationGenuine Perfection Depends on the Supreme Lord
“One who concentrates all mental activities in Me as the Supersoul of that phase of the mahat-tattva which manifests the chain of fruitive activities obtains from Me, whose appearance is beyond material perception, the most excellent mystic perfection called prākāmya.”
What the purport teaches
- The mahat-tattva sustains fruitive activities just as a thread sustains a row of jewels. Fixed meditation on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, its soul, brings the perfection called prākāmya.
- The Lord appears from the spiritual sky, and His birth is beyond the perception of material senses.
- Accepting the transcendental form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is necessary for prākāmya or any other genuine mystic perfection.

Ask yourself
How does knowing that the Lord’s form is beyond material perception shape my understanding of Him?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
