Hrdayananda:What is the position of a person who takes to devotional

service with the idea of liberation?

Prabhupada:That is not pure bhakti.You can take devotional service with any

idea.That will be fulfilled.But anyone who wants liberation by devotional

service,he is not a pure devotee.That is called Janana-misra-bhakti,means

bhakti adulterated with jnana.Real bhakti,as I have

explained,anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmadi-anavrtam means the karmis,they

want promotion in the heavenly planets,ane the jnanis,they want to become

one with the Supreme or liberation,so it should be uncovered by the result

of jnana and karma and fully devoide of any other desire.That is bhakti.So

those who are bhaktas and desiring after liberation,they are not pure

bhaktas.Because why a devotee shall aspire after liberation?AS soon as [he

is]a bhakta,he is already liberated.That is stated in Bhagavadgita,mam ca yo

'vyabhicarena bhakti-yogena sevate,sa gunan samatityatan brahma-bhuyaya

kalpate:"He,anyone,who is engaged in pure devotional service,he is

transcendental to all three qualities of the material world,and he is

situated in the Brahman platform."Liberation means to be situated on the

Brahman platform.So for a bhakta,the liberation is already there.Srila

Bilvamangala Thakurahas said,mukthi mukulitanjalih sevate 'sman:"We are

devotees,so mukti,liberation,is standing on my door with folded hands,'What

can I do for you?'"So why a pure bhakta should desire after liberation?For a

pure bhakta,the liberation is standing on the door as maid servant.So a

devotee is not aspirous of liberation.(break)

Hrdayananda:Is it possible to achieve liberation with other religious....

Prabhupada:There is no other religion except KC.All cheating

religion.Dharmah projjhita-kaitavah:"All cheating type of religion is

rejected,kicked out."

Hrdayananda:Until you have arrived here,there was no possibility of

liberation for humanity?

Prabhupada:That you can judge.(laughter)if I say, it will be self

advertisement.But you are intelligent.You can judge.But I have not brought

something invented by me.I have brought the Bhagavatamand Bhagavad-gita.That

is all.

Man:How can people in general recognize when a devotee is pure?

Prabhupada:I have already described.He has no material desire,except to

serve Krsna,or God.That is devotee.That is pure

devotee.(Bhag.lecture,Feb.24th 1975 Caracas)

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.All glories to Guru Maharaja.
