Mukti· LiberationFind Peace by Fixing the Mind on Kṛṣṇa
“When the yogī regularly practices in this way, in a short time his heart becomes fixed and free from disturbance, like a fire without flames or smoke.”
What the purport teaches
- Nirvāṇa means the cessation of material desires, not the end of the mind's activity. The living entity remains eternally sentient.
- Yoga is recommended to stop the mind from being agitated by material desires. Fixing the mind on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa naturally brings peace very soon.
- Peace comes from understanding Kṛṣṇa as the supreme enjoyer, the supreme proprietor of everything, and the supreme friend of everyone. This understanding frees one from material agitation.
