Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 11.2.34
Mukti· LiberationKnow the Lord Through His Own Teachings
“Even ignorant living entities can very easily come to know the Supreme Lord if they adopt those means prescribed by the Supreme Lord Himself. The process recommended by the Lord is to be known as bhāgavata-dharma, or devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- Even those lacking knowledge can easily come to know the Supreme Lord by following the means He prescribes. This process is bhāgavata-dharma, devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The knowledge presented by the nine Yogendras is not their personal invention. It is authorized knowledge originally spoken by the Lord Himself.
- Hearing the Lord’s auspicious teachings helps one understand one’s eternal identity as a servant of Kṛṣṇa. The pure devotee seeks devotional service, not material sense gratification.
