“This perfect knowledge can be achieved by a person who is already engaged in devotional service with faith, steadiness and full detachment, and who is always absorbed in thought of the Supreme. He is aloof from material association.”
What the purport teaches
- Perfect knowledge is attained through devotional service with faith, steadiness and detachment. The devotee remains absorbed in thought of the Supreme.
- Only those engaged in practical devotional service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness can become absorbed in full samādhi.
- Through faithful devotional service, one can understand the cosmic manifestation and its cause. Atheistic mystic yoga cannot provide this perfect understanding.
