By accessing spiritual knowledge, a person frees himself from this duality and adopts the service of transcendent love of the Supreme Lord, the only way to detach himself from material activities. The person duly initiated by an authentic spiritual master and singing the hymn;

Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare / Hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare,

Gradually looses notions of me and mine, and therefore becomes attached to the service of the Lord's spiritual love under the sign of one or other of the five forms of sublime exchange;

1. The state of spiritual realization following liberation from material slavery corresponds to an exchange that can be qualified as neutral.


2. From there, when he has developed in himself the sublime knowledge of the internal perfections of the Lord, the devout holy being of Krishna can gain the level of active exchange which is called dasya.


3. On this new basis, the devotee can develop a feeling of respectful brotherhood towards the Lord, then beyond, friendship, where he begins to consider the Lord as his equal. These two stages are called sakhya, or devotional service in friendship.


4. Beyond is still the level of parental affection for the Lord, and this exchange is called vatsalya.


5. And finally, the level of loving feelings, or madhurya, which is the highest degree of love for God, although qualitatively there is no difference between the five levels of exchange described above.

This service transcends the physical plane, both material and ethereal, and it is only when one understands that there is no difference between the Supreme Being and his Name, that one can establish oneself. in Krishna consciousness. It therefore becomes futile to get lost in grammatical analyzes, and we are only interested in the object of the subject: Hare Krishna - O Lord, O energy of the Lord, let me serve You.

The real commentary on the Vedanta-Sutra is none other than the Srimad-Bhagavatam, as its author himself, Avatar Vyasadeva, asserts in the Bhagavatam.

The disciple is judged perfect when he realizes the identity of the Holy Name and the Supreme Lord. However, unless one finds refuge with an accomplished spiritual master, the little understanding one can have of the Supreme is foolishness. Only service and devotion allow one to fully know the Absolute.

While singing the Hare Krishna hymn, also called maha-mantra, without committing offense, this transcendental vibration has the power to immediately deliver a conditioned soul from all material stain. In this age of kali, the iron age, there is moreover no alternative to chanting the maha-mantra, and it is said that the essence of all the Vedic writings [of the Vedas, the saints original scriptures also called The True Gospel] resides in the chanting of the Holy Name of Krishna:

Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare / Hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare.
