Bhagvat: One should be convinced that he is a spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman, Krshna, but has somehow or other been entrapped by the material coverings, 24th Aug

Bhagvat: One should be convinced that he is a spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman, Krshna, but has somehow or other been entrapped by the material coverings of the gross and subtle bodies, consisting of earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego. One should know that the association of society, friendship, love, nationalism, religion and so on are nothing but creations of maya. One's only business is to become Krshna conscious and render service unto Krshna as extensively as possible for a living being.


TRANSLATION

Thereafter, Devayani, the daughter of Sukracarya, understood that the materialistic association of husband, friends and relatives is like the association in a hotel full of tourists.


The relationships of society, friendship and love are created by the maya of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, exactly as in a dream.


By the grace of Krshna, Devayani gave up her imaginary position in the material world.


Completely fixing her mind upon Krshna, she achieved liberation from the gross and subtle bodies.!!!

PURPORT

One should be convinced that he is a spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman, Krshna, but has somehow or other been entrapped by the material coverings of the gross and subtle bodies, consisting of earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego.


One should know that the association of society, friendship, love, nationalism, religion and so on are nothing but creations of maya.


One's only business is to become Krshna conscious and render service unto Krshna as extensively as possible for a living being.


In this way one is liberated from material bondage.


By the grace of Krshna, Devayani attained this state through the instructions of her husband.
