Mukti· LiberationWorship Kṛṣṇa and Cultivate Goodness
“A wise sage, free from all material association and unbewildered, should subdue his senses and worship Me. He should conquer the modes of passion and ignorance by engaging himself only with things in the mode of goodness.”
What the purport teaches
- A wise sage should remain free from material association and unbewildered. With his senses subdued, he should worship Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- Passion and ignorance should be conquered by engaging only with things in the mode of goodness.
- Cultivating goodness goes together with controlling the senses and worshiping the Lord. Devotional service remains the goal.
