The Way of Liberation, of True Freedom

The five forms of release are:

Salokya, which allows to live on the same planet as the Lord.

Sarsti, allows you to enjoy the same opulence as the Lord.

Samipya, allows to become a close companion of the Lord.

Sarupya, allows to have the same bodily features as the Lord to the exclusion of the signs proper to the Sovereign Person.

Ekatva, allows to blend into the radiance that emanates from the Lord.

He who attains the highest level of devotional service, as I have explained, can overcome the influence of the three attributes of the material nature and establish himself, as the Lord, at the level of transcendence.

The wise must carry out his own duties, all glorious, without yearning for any material gain. One must regularly, and without unnecessary violence, perform devotional activities.

The wise man must regularly contemplate My forms in the temples, touch My lotus feet and offer Me prayers and articles of worship. His vision must be imbued with renunciation, in virtue, and he must see all beings as spiritual entities.

The pure being holy must practice devotional service with the utmost respect for the spiritual master and the perfect great masters. He must also show compassion to the unfortunate and befriend his equals; but in all these acts he must submit to certain rules and master his senses.

The wise must always strive to listen to spiritual matters and use his time to sing the Holy Name of the Lord. He must always behave in a frank and direct manner, be simple and, although he does not envy anyone and on the contrary showsfriendship towards all, he must avoid the company of beings with little spiritual evolution.

The one who perfectly develops all these spiritual qualities and whose consciousness is thus completely purified, is attracted as soon as he hears My name or the description of My divine features.

As the air chariot carries a perfume from its source and immediately captures the sense of smell, the one who is constantly absorbed in devotional service, in Krishna consciousness, can capture the Supreme Soul, present in all places equally.

I live, as the Supreme Soul, the heart of every being. If someone neglects this omnipresent Supreme Soul or disrespects it, while offering worship to the murti in the temple, his devotion is only a sham. He who worships the murti, the form of God installed in the temple, without knowing that the Supreme Lord is also present in the heart of every being as the Supreme Soul, he must be in ignorance; he is like a person who would offer oblations in the ash.
