Mukti· LiberationAbsorb the Mind in the Lord’s Form
“Ajāmila fully engaged in devotional service. Thus he detached his mind from the process of sense gratification and became fully absorbed in thinking of the form of the Lord.”
What the purport teaches
- Through full engagement in devotional service, Ajāmila detached his mind from sense gratification. He became absorbed in thinking of the Lord’s form.
- Worshiping the Deity naturally absorbs the mind in the Lord. There is no distinction between the Lord’s form and the Lord Himself.
- Seeing the Lord during ārati, offering bhoga and remembering the Deity’s form make bhakti-yoga an easy process. The highest yogī worships the Lord with faith and transcendental loving service.
