Mukti· LiberationBecome Attached to the Supreme Lord
“They both took birth again in human society as Śiśupāla and Dantavakra and continued in the same enmity toward the Lord. It is they who merged into the body of the Lord in your presence.”
What the purport teaches
- The two associates took birth as Śiśupāla and Dantavakra, continued their enmity toward the Lord, and merged into His body.
- The purport explains that even acting as the Lord’s enemy can benefit a living entity. Somehow or other, one should become attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and return home, back to Godhead.
- How much more can be said of one related to the Lord as a servant, friend, father, mother or conjugal lover!
