Mukti· LiberationCling to the Lord’s Lotus Feet
“The demigods began to speak: Our dear Lord, advanced mystic yogīs, striving for liberation from the severe bondage of material work, meditate with great devotion upon Your lotus feet within their hearts. Dedicating our intelligence, senses, vital air, mind and power of speech to Your Lordship, we demigods bow down at Your lotus feet.”
What the purport teaches
- Great mystic yogīs contemplate the Lord’s lotus feet within their hearts. The demigods were astonished to see the entire body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead before them.
- The demigods offered full obeisances, falling down like sticks. They dedicated their intelligence, senses, vital air, mind and speech to the Lord.
- The currents of material nature are powerful, so we should cling tightly to the Lord’s lotus feet. Sense gratification and mental speculation can sweep us away from our eternal position as His loving servants.
