Mukti· LiberationKṛṣṇa’s Grace Clears the Devotee’s Path
“Kṛṣṇa consciousness means constantly associating with the Supreme Personality of Godhead in such a mental state that the devotee can observe the cosmic manifestation exactly as the Supreme Personality of Godhead does. Such observation is not always possible, but it becomes manifest exactly like the dark planet known as Rāhu, which is observed in the presence of the full moon.”
What the purport teaches
- Unlimited desires for material enjoyment keep the living entity moving from one gross body to another. Freedom from this cycle requires Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
- When one is fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, stored material desires no longer fructify as future gross bodies. By the Lord’s grace, they can instead become visible within the mind.
- Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, gives this special facility to His devotee. His grace clears the path for returning home, back to Godhead.
