To surrender to Krishna is to serve Him with love and devotion, to enjoy it, and to love to satisfy Him.

Surrender to Krishna is synonymous with total purification.

Thus, as soon as a being surrenders to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, he certainly becomes free from all defilements.

The Lord said : Leave all form of religion there and simply surrender to Me. All the consequences of your faults, I will free you from them. Have no fear.

Abandon yourself to Me, and I will take you under My protection.

This is the secret of success, the perfection of existence.

We have a choice.

At the time of death we can dwell in the material universe, or we can go to the kingdom of God.

The Lord says : These are the thoughts, the memories of being, to the moment of leaving the body, which determine its future condition. It is said to be unmanifest and imperishable, this supreme kingdom, ultimate goal. For the one who reaches it, there is no return [in the material universe]. This world is My absolute home. Whoever dies, at the very instant of leaving the body remembers Me alone, immediately attains My abode, do not doubt it.

Let us keep well the meaning of the word of the Lord: He who, at this instant precise of his death thinks of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, in his original form, will come to Him and reach the spiritual world. Whoever thinks of Him at the time of death immediately obtains a spiritual body, all of knowledge, bliss and eternity, and attains the kingdom of God, for we put on a spiritual body and abandon our material bodies [de dense and ethereal matter] according to well-established rules. So when we die, our next body is already determined, not by us, but by higher authorities who act under the preeminence or sovereignty of God, depending on the acts we have done in the coming life.

According to our acts in our present life, we will be raised or degraded. We are therefore preparing our future life today. This is why an existence of spiritual preparation guarantees us, after death, the benefit of a spiritual body similar to that of the Lord, and the return to his absolute kingdom. We must long for it for this, that is the first choice.

In reality after liberation, the infinitesimal soul can choose to live as a mere spark in the radiance radiating from the spiritual and absolute body of God, or, showing a higher intelligence, to go to one of the spiritual planets to live there with the Supreme Person. This is the second choice.
