Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 3.27.21
Mukti· LiberationHear Regularly and Work for Kṛṣṇa
“The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: One can get liberation by seriously discharging devotional service unto Me and thereby hearing for a long time about Me or from Me. By thus executing one’s prescribed duties, there will be no reaction, and one will be freed from the contamination of matter.”
What the purport teaches
- Contact with material nature alone does not make one conditioned; contamination by its modes does. Like a lotus in water, one can remain in material nature without being affected.
- Perform prescribed duties in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, seeking the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such work does not produce binding reactions.
- Serious devotional service develops through continuous, regular hearing about and from the Lord. Repeated hearing from reliable sources cleanses the heart and diminishes lust and greed.
