Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 3.31.21
Mukti· LiberationRemember Kṛṣṇa in Every Circumstance
“Therefore, without being agitated any more, I shall deliver myself from the darkness of nescience with the help of my friend, clear consciousness. Simply by keeping the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu in my mind, I shall be saved from entering into the wombs of many mothers for repeated birth and death.”
What the purport teaches
- Changing bodies does not end the suffering of material existence. By the Lord’s grace, developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness saves one from repeated birth and death.
- Intelligence becomes a friend when absorbed in the personal service of Kṛṣṇa. Full consciousness of Him is the path of self-realization and liberation.
- No special material arrangement is needed to cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One can think of Kṛṣṇa and chant His holy names anywhere and in any circumstance.
