Mukti· LiberationUse Your Resources to Serve the Lord
“It does not matter that you are in the material world. You should always, continuously, hear the instructions and messages given by Me and always be absorbed in thought of Me, for I am the Supersoul existing in the core of everyone’s heart. Therefore, give up fruitive activities and worship Me.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord instructs Prahlāda to keep hearing His messages and remain absorbed in thought of Him. He is the Supersoul within everyone’s heart.
- A devotee uses material opulence to expand the Lord’s glories and service. Such wealth should not be viewed simply as enjoyment of the results of fruitive activities.
- A devotee is not interested in fruitive activities or speculation about the Supreme Lord. The goal is favorable service to the Lord through devotional activities.
