Mukti· LiberationKṛṣṇa and His Service Are Reality
“Everything happening within time, which consists of past, present and future, is merely a dream. That is the secret understanding in all Vedic literature.”
What the purport teaches
- Material existence within past, present and future is like a dream. This is the secret understanding of Vedic literature.
- Working through fruitive activities for future happiness is also dreaming. Past and present material happiness are similarly dreams.
- The actual reality is Kṛṣṇa and service to Kṛṣṇa, which can save us from māyā. Those who surrender to Him can cross beyond His illusory energy.

Am I placing my hope in temporary material happiness or in service to Kṛṣṇa?
