Mukti· LiberationHuman Life Offers the Opportunity to Realize Kṛṣṇa
“The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Having achieved this human form of life, which affords one the opportunity to realize Me, and being situated in My devotional service, one can achieve Me, the reservoir of all pleasure and the Supreme Soul of all existence, residing within the heart of every living being.”
What the purport teaches
- Human life offers the opportunity to realize Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Through devotional service, one can achieve Him, the reservoir of all pleasure.
- The Lord is the Supreme Soul residing within the heart of every living being.
- Bad association can cause even spiritually liberated persons to fall. Association with saintly persons awakens spiritual intelligence and protects one from sexual attraction.
