Mukti· LiberationTake Advantage of Devotee Association
“Because of a moment’s association with devotees [the Viṣṇudūtas], Ajāmila detached himself from the material conception of life with determination. Thus freed from all material attraction, he immediately started for Hardwar.”
What the purport teaches
- A moment’s association with the Viṣṇudūtas gave Ajāmila firm detachment from material life. He immediately went to Hardwar for further spiritual advancement.
- The centers in Vṛndāvana and Navadvīpa offer an opportunity to live among devotees and determinedly give up the bodily concept of life.
- Chanting the Lord’s holy name and taking prasāda are simple means of achieving the highest success and returning home, back to Godhead. We should take advantage of opportunities for devotee association.
