Mukti· LiberationGoodness Opens the Opportunity for Realization
“When consciousness becomes clear and the senses are detached from matter, one experiences fearlessness within the material body and detachment from the material mind. You should understand this situation to be the predominance of the mode of goodness, in which one has the opportunity to realize Me.”
What the purport teaches
- When goodness predominates, consciousness becomes clear and the senses become detached from matter.
- One experiences fearlessness within the material body and detachment from the material mind.
- This condition provides an opportunity to realize Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Try this today
Set aside one sensory distraction today and spend a quiet minute reflecting on realizing Kṛṣṇa.
Ask yourself
Do I value clarity and detachment as opportunities to realize Kṛṣṇa?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
