Mukti· LiberationYoga Becomes Complete Through Devotional Surrender
“After many births, mature yogīs, by complete trance in yoga, endeavor in secluded places to see the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- Mature yogīs endeavor in secluded places to see the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such maturity comes after many births of practice.
- Complete yoga practice means bhakti-yoga. Without surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, yoga remains incomplete.
- Sitting postures alone do not immediately make one perfect. Success in yoga depends on surrender to the Supreme Lord, not on claims of becoming God.
