Mukti· LiberationMeditate on the Lord’s Transcendental Form
“For a sage who has conquered his senses, breathing and mind, who is self-controlled and always absorbed in meditation on Me, what mystic perfection could possibly be difficult to achieve?”
What the purport teaches
- For a self-controlled sage who has conquered his senses, breathing and mind and remains absorbed in Kṛṣṇa, no mystic perfection is difficult to achieve.
- Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī explains that there is no need to practice many different processes. Completely carrying out even one of the described procedures brings sense control, absorption in the Lord and mystic perfections.
- Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī emphasizes meditation on the Lord’s transcendental form, free from material designations. This is the essence of advancement in yoga, with perfections coming from the personal body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
