Mukti· LiberationHear, Glorify and Remember the Lord
“O descendant of King Bharata, one who desires to be free from all miseries must hear about, glorify and also remember the Personality of Godhead, who is the Supersoul, the controller and the savior from all miseries.”
What the purport teaches
- To become free from the cycle of fruitive action, we should work on behalf of the Supreme Lord rather than for our own enjoyment. He is the ultimate proprietor of everything.
- First hear carefully about the Lord, then glorify His acts and deeds. Through this process, constant remembrance of His transcendental nature becomes possible.
- Hearing about and glorifying the Lord keep us in His association and bring freedom from fear. This process is open to everyone and molds our activities into spiritual activities.
