Mukti· LiberationAwaken to Kṛṣṇa Consciousness
“In the dreaming state one’s consciousness is almost covered, and one sees many inauspicious things, but when he is awakened and fully conscious, such inauspicious things cannot bewilder him.”
What the purport teaches
- A disturbing dream loses its power to bewilder us when we awaken. Similarly, understanding our real relationship with the Supreme Lord brings satisfaction beyond the disturbances of material nature.
- In contaminated consciousness, one sees everything as meant for one’s own enjoyment. In pure consciousness, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one sees everything as meant for the supreme enjoyer.
- Kṛṣṇa is the only absolute enjoyer, the proprietor of all three worlds, and everyone’s friend. Understanding this brings peace and independence; truly benefiting others means awakening their dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
