constantly meditating on Me, for that one, I am the Liberator who will soon snatch him from the ocean of dead and rebirth”.

The Lord makes it clear here that He will very quickly free his devotees from the bonds of material existence. Devotional service leads man to realize the greatness of God, and to know that the individual soul distinct from the Supreme Lord is subordinate to him, that he has a duty to serve him, and that if not, he will have to serve maya, the energy of illusion. Only devotional service can allow us to approach the Supreme Lord. So one has to dedicate oneself entirely to Krishna, act only for Him and fully absorb one's mind in Him, thus to return to Him. It doesn't matter which activity you choose, but that it is dedicated to Krishna and to Him alone. This is the rule of devotional service. The holy being does not desire any completion other than the satisfaction of God, the Supreme Person. The mission of his life is to please Krishna, and he is ready to sacrifice everything for Him. The method is very simple: devote oneself to Krishna in his occupation while singing or reciting,

Haré Krishna, haré Krishna, Krishna Krishna, haré haré / Haré Rama, haré Rama, Rama Rama, haré haré

This song of the Holy Names of the Lord in Sanskrit means: “O Lord, O energy of the Lord, let me serve you”.

The Supreme Lord here promises to emerge without delay from the ocean of material existence the pure being thus dedicated to his service. The holy being can arrive in joy and without difficulty at the supreme destination, which no other spiritual path allows to reach. One must abandon any other path of spiritual realization, and simply perform the service of devotion in Krishna consciousness; so one can reach the highest perfection of existence. The pure being does not have to worry about the guilty acts committed in his previous life, because the Supreme Lord even protects him in this respect. It is therefore useless to seek to liberate oneself, to achieve spiritual realization by oneself. Everyone take refuge with the Supreme Lord and Omnipotent, Sri Krishna, for such is the highest perfection of existence.

Logos 344

Lord Krishna says: “Since I am absolute, beyond the fallible and the infallible, since I am the greatest of all, the world and the Vedas (the original original scriptures) Celebrate Me as this Person Supreme. Whoever, free from doubts, knows Me thus, like God, the Supreme Person, that one, know it, his knowledge embraces everything.
