Mukti· LiberationGive the Senses Better Engagement
“When the senses are satisfied in the seer-Supersoul, the Personality of Godhead, and merge in Him, all miseries are completely vanquished, as after a sound sleep.”
What the purport teaches
- The senses cause disturbance when engaged in material gratification. They need to be cured of material contamination, not stopped from acting.
- Devotees give the senses better engagement in serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Seeing His form, tasting prasāda and hearing His glories satisfy the senses spiritually.
- The Lord, present as the Supersoul in everyone’s heart, sees all our activities. Complete satisfaction comes when the senses are engaged in His transcendental service.
