Kṛṣṇa Attracts the Serious Spiritual Student
“These three items attract the mind of a perfect student engaged in spiritual activities and overcome all other processes of spiritual activity.”
What the purport teaches
- Spiritual activities other than bhakti-yoga include speculation, fruitive activity according to Vedic regulations, and activities of transcendentalists not engaged in devotional service.
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead attracts students engaged in karma, jñāna, yoga and other processes through His inconceivable potencies and transcendental qualities.
- His person, energies and transcendental qualities attract the serious student and overcome other spiritual processes. Thus the Lord is known as Kṛṣṇa, the all-attractive one.
