Mukti· LiberationFix Intelligence on the Highest Truth
“By interaction of My energies different opinions arise. But for those who have fixed their intelligence on Me and controlled their senses, differences of perception disappear, and consequently the very cause for argument is removed.”
What the purport teaches
- The interaction of the Lord’s material energies creates conflicting perceptions and arguments. Fixing the intelligence on Him and controlling the senses removes the cause of such quarrels.
- Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the highest truth underlying all dependent truths. Everything comes from Him, is maintained by Him and finally rests within Him.
- Spiritual unity does not require stopping philosophical inquiry or rational discussion. It naturally follows spiritual enlightenment, and one who fully surrenders to Kṛṣṇa becomes most learned.
Try this today
Set aside one sensory distraction while studying today, and reflect on Kṛṣṇa as the basis of all existence.
Ask yourself
Does my inquiry help me surrender to Kṛṣṇa, or mainly help me defend my own position?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
