Ūti· What drives us to actFaith in Devotional Service Is Transcendental
“Faith directed toward spiritual life is in the mode of goodness, faith rooted in fruitive work is in the mode of passion, faith residing in irreligious activities is in the mode of ignorance, but faith in My devotional service is purely transcendental.”
What the purport teaches
- Faith directed toward spiritual life is in the mode of goodness.
- Faith rooted in work for material results is in passion. Faith placed in irreligious activities is in ignorance.
- Faith in the Lord’s devotional service is purely transcendental, beyond the three material modes.
