As soon as one frees oneself from the taint of the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance, we stop having to be reborn and transmigrate, reincarnate from one form to another in our galaxy.
Liberation, also called salvation.
En truth, liberation is the cessation of the endless cycle of reincarnation. It is the end of rebirths and repeated deaths. It is the liberation of the embodied spiritual being from the chains which held him prisoner of matter. It is the return of the spiritual being, once it has freed itself from any material conception of existence, to its original, natural spiritual condition.
Liberation consists in finding our original position, that which is to serve the Lord. Liberation is breaking the chains that held us prisoners of this material world, in order to return to the eternal kingdom of God.
Immutable are those who detach themselves from all material attraction for the sole sublime goal of being absorbed in the service of love and devout they offer to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person
The service offered to the Lord is that level of perfection which is called “The highest liberation”.
The simple knowledge of liberation remains material, because true liberation consists in feeling, in really experiencing the breaking, the breaking of the chains of matter. The perfection of liberation consists in attaining the spiritual and absolute service which is offered to the Lord, a service itself developed in knowledge and renunciation [Detachment from the things of this material world, disinterest in pleasures material, the rejection of objects that arouse the pleasure of the senses, and the rejection of materialism]. Perfect knowledge allows access to the level of sublime service offered to God.
The different forms of liberation offered by the Lord are:
- That which consists in becoming one with the Lord.
- That which allows to live on the same planet as the Lord.
- That which gives the same bodily features as the Lord.
- That which allows to benefit from the same wealth as the Lord.
- That which allows one to live in the company of the Lord.
The keys to liberation
To be free from material slavery, it is enough to surrender to God, and to take the firm resolution to serve him with love and devotion for all eternity. The key to liberation, verily, is love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.
