Mukti· LiberationRemember Kṛṣṇa and Find Lasting Satisfaction
“Great sages, desiring the highest benefit in life, always cherish Your lotus feet within their hearts, which are melted by love for You. Similarly, Your self-controlled devotees, desiring to cross beyond the material kingdom of heaven to achieve opulence equal to Yours, worship Your lotus feet in the morning, at noon and in the evening. Thus, they meditate upon Your Lordship in Your quadruple expansion. Your lotus feet are just like a blazing fire that burns to ashes all the inauspicious desires for material sense gratification.”
What the purport teaches
- Our material desires are temporary, while our loving relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead is eternal. Pure devotional service completely satisfies the heart.
- Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet are like a blazing fire that destroys ignorance and desires for material sense gratification. In His abode, liberated devotees receive opulence for serving Him.
- Understanding that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa frees us from the desire to exploit it selfishly. Remembering His lotus feet morning, noon and evening leads toward real, blissful life beyond illusion.
