Who is speaking and story frame
यर्ह्यब्जनाभचरणैषणयोरुभक्त्या
चेतोमलानि विधमेद् गुणकर्मजानि ।
तस्मिन् विशुद्ध उपलभ्यत आत्मतत्त्वं
साक्षाद् यथामलदृशो: सवितृप्रकाश: ॥ ४० ॥
yarhy abja-nābha-caraṇaiṣaṇayoru-bhaktyā
ceto-malāni vidhamed guṇa-karma-jāni
tasmin viśuddha upalabhyata ātma-tattvaṁ
śākṣād yathāmala-dṛśoḥ savitṛ-prakāśaḥ
When one seriously engages in the devotional service of the Personality of Godhead, fixing the Lord’s lotus feet within one’s heart as the only goal of life, one can destroy the innumerable impure desires lodged within the heart as a result of one’s previous fruitive work within the three modes of material nature. When the heart is thus purified one can directly perceive both the Supreme Lord and one’s self as transcendental entities. Thus one becomes perfect in spiritual understanding through direct experience, just as one can directly experience the sunshine through normal, healthy vision.
