Liberation Is Only a Lesser Result
“Liberation is the insignificant result derived from a glimpse of the awakening of offenseless chanting of the holy name.
What the purport teaches
- Liberation comes from even a glimpse of the awakening of offenseless chanting.
- Haridāsa Ṭhākura calls liberation an insignificant result of that glimpse.
- The preceding verse describes the greater result: service in ecstatic love at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa.
Try this today
Before chanting today, remember that loving service to Kṛṣṇa is greater than liberation.
