Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Hare Krsna deare vaisnavas, please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to our Gurumaharaja and our Srila Prabhupada. Unless one understands the self and its activities, one has to be considered in material bondage. In Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.2.32) it is also said: ye 'nye 'ravindaksa vimukta-maninas tvayy asta-bhavad avisuddha-buddhayah. A person who doesn't have knowledge of devotional service may think himself liberated, but actually he is not. As explained in Bhagavad-gita (7.19): bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate. The point is: *** to know Krsna, Vasudeva, as everything and surrender unto Him ***. Karmis do not know this, but a devotee who is one hundred percent engaged in the devotional service of the Lord knows fully what is karma and jnana; therefore a pure devotee is no longer interested in karma or jnana. Anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavrtam. The real bhakta is untouched by any tinge of karma and jnana. His only purpose in life is to serve the Lord. All glories to H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada. ys. vd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
