The Bhavamurdhi Rvatsavadam Param Padam Padam Padam Yadvipadam Na Tesham.
“For one who has accepted the lotus feet of the Lord, who is the refuge of the world and the one who is known as the bestower of salvation, the ocean of samsara becomes like water without a footprint. The supreme state, that is, the state without physical attachments (ekuntha), is his destination, not a place where danger lurks at every step of life.”
Man, ignorantly, cannot understand that this material world is a place of misery, with dangers at every step. It is only because of ignorance that the foolish try to improve their situation by fruitive actions. They think that the results of such actions will make them happy. They do not know that no body anywhere in this universe offers a life free from misery. The miseries of life, such as birth, death, old age, and diseases, are everywhere in the material world. But one who understands his real natural position as the eternal servant of the Lord and thus knows the position of the Supreme Lord, is established in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Consequently, he becomes eligible to enter the heavenly worlds, where there is no material, miserable life or the effects of time and death. To know one’s own natural position is to know the supreme position of the Lord. One who wrongly thinks that the position of the living entity and the position of the Lord are on the same level is considered to be in darkness. Therefore, he cannot be established in the service of the Lord. He becomes the Lord himself and thus arranges the path for birth and death. But one who understands that his position is to serve and is established in the service of the Lord quickly becomes eligible for the heavenly abode. Service to the Lord is called karma-yoga or buddhi-yoga, or, to put it simply, devotional service to the Lord
If the mind is distracted, the intellect is distracted, and the mind is distracted, the mind is distracted, and the mind is distracted.
engaged in divine service; vyatitarishyati – transcends; tada – then; gantasi – you will attain; nirvedam – indifferent intelligence; srotavyasya – to what is to be heard; srutanya – to what has already been heard; ca – also.
When your mind passes through the dense forest of enchantment, you become oblivious to what you have heard and what you need to hear.
Purport: There are many good examples in the lives of great devotees of the Lord who have abandoned all non-Vedic activities simply by engaging in service to the Lord. When a person truly understands Lord Krishna and his relationship with Him, even if he is an experienced brahmin, he naturally completely abandons all sensual activities. Thus says Sri Madhavendra Puri, the supreme devotee and the teacher of the Bhaktavarampara
With the veneration of the Lord, I bathe in the holy water of the Lord, O God, with the reverence of the Father, and with the reverence of the Lord, I offer my prayers to Him, and I offer my forgiveness. I am the one who has come to the Lord,
“O Sandhyavandam! May you be victorious! O Sanana, I offer my salutations to you. O gods and ancestors, forgive me for my inability to respect you. Now, wherever I sit, I will remember Kamsa Vairi and the Lord of the Yadava (Shri Krishna) and thereby be freed from all sinful bondage. I think this is enough for me.”
Chanting all kinds of hymns three times a day, taking a bath early in the morning, and offering obeisances to the ancestral deities are obligatory for the novice devotees. But when a person is perfected in Krishna consciousness and engaged in transcendental loving service, he neglects these rules because he has already attained perfection. If a devotee reaches a state of perfect understanding through the service of Lord Krishna, there is no need to perform various penances as described in the scriptures. Similarly, if a person does not understand that the purpose of the Vedas is to reach Lord Krishna and simply engages in rituals and ceremonies, he is wasting his time in such activities.
