Mukti· LiberationLoving Service Without Selfish Motives
“In the Vaikuṇṭha planets all the residents are similar in form to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They all engage in devotional service to the Lord without desires for sense gratification.”
What the purport teaches
- Four-handed Nārāyaṇa, Kṛṣṇa’s plenary feature, is the predominating Deity in Vaikuṇṭha. The residents also have four-handed forms similar to His.
- There is no occupation in Vaikuṇṭha other than service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The devotees do not serve to fulfill their own desires. Their desires are fulfilled through transcendental loving service to the Lord.
