Mukti· LiberationRemembering Kṛṣṇa Frees the Heart
“O Vidura, thus always meditating upon her son, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kapiladeva, she very soon became unattached to her nicely decorated home.”
What the purport teaches
- Kapiladeva is Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By constantly thinking of Him, Devahūti became detached from her beautifully decorated home.
- Freedom from material attachment requires transferring attachment to the Supreme Lord. Philosophical speculation or merely knowing oneself to be spirit does not replace transcendental loving service.
- Devotees hear about the Lord, glorify His activities, remember His eternal form and offer Him service. Pure devotional service enables one to understand Him and enter His association.
