Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionReal Knowledge Leads to Devotional Service
“Kardama Muni said: You, my dear Lord, who are always increasing the honor of Your devotees, have descended in my home just to fulfill Your word and disseminate the process of real knowledge.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord had promised to become Kardama Muni’s son. He descended in Kardama’s home to fulfill His word.
- He also appeared to distribute knowledge and increase His devotees’ honor. The Sāṅkhya taught by Kapila Muni establishes one firmly in devotional service, rather than dry speculation.
- Real knowledge and real liberation mean surrendering unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead and engaging in devotional service.
