Mukti· LiberationDevotional Service Leads to Eternal Life
“Now, being sanctioned by Me, go as you desire, surrendering all your activities to Me. Conquering insurmountable death, worship Me for eternal life.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord authorizes Kardama to depart while surrendering all his activities to Him. He directs Kardama to worship Him for eternal life.
- Birth and death belong to the temporary material body and are very difficult to overcome. Human life is meant for conquering this process through devotional service, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
- Sāṅkhya is factual knowledge that frees one from material entanglement. Without Kṛṣṇa’s mercy, no one can understand this philosophy meant for liberation.
