In pure devotional service one comes to the realization that God is great and that the individual soul is subordinate to Him. His duty is to render service to the Lord-if not, then he will render service to #i#māyā#/i#. #$p#As stated before, the Supreme Lord can only be appreciated by devotional service. Therefore, one should be fully devoted. One should fix his mind fully on Kṛṣṇa in order to achieve Him. One should work only for Kṛṣṇa. It does not matter in what kind of work one engages, but that work should be done only for Kṛṣṇa. That is the standard of devotional service. The devotee does not desire any achievement other than pleasing the Supreme Personality of Godhead. His life's mission is to please Kṛṣṇa, and he can sacrifice everything for Kṛṣṇa's satisfaction, just as Arjuna did in the Battle of Kurukṣetra. The process is very simple: one can devote himself in his occupation and engage at the same time in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Such transcendental chanting attracts the devotee to the Personality of Godhead. #$p#The Supreme Lord herein promises that He will without delay deliver a pure devotee thus engaged from the ocean of material existence. Those who are advanced in #i#yoga#/i# practice can willfully transfer the soul to whatever planet they like by the #i#yoga#/i# process, and others take the opportunity in various ways, but as far as the devotee is concerned, it is clearly stated here that the Lord Himself takes him. He does not need to wait to become very experienced in order to transfer himself to the spiritual sky. #$p#In the #i#Varāha Purāṇa#/i# this verse appears: #/p# #dl##dd#nayāmi paramaṁ sthānam arcirādi-gatiṁ vinā#/dd# #dd#garuḍa-skandham āropya yatheccham anivāritaḥ#/dd##/dl# #p#The purport of this verse is that a devotee does not need to practice #i#aṣṭāṅga-yoga#/i# in order to transfer his soul to the spiritual planets. The responsibility is taken by the Supreme Lord Himself. He clearly states here that He Himself becomes the deliverer. A child is completely cared for by his parents, and thus his position is secure. Similarly, a devotee does not need to endeavor to transfer himself by #i#yoga#/i# practice to other planets. Rather, the Supreme Lord, by His great mercy, comes at once, riding on His bird carrier Garuḍa, and at once delivers the devotee from this material existence. Although a man who has fallen in the ocean may struggle very hard and may be very expert in swimming, he cannot save himself. But if someone comes and picks him up from the water, then he is easily rescued. Similarly, the Lord picks up the devotee from this material existence. One simply has to practice the easy process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and fully engage himself in devotional service. Any intelligent man should always prefer the process of devotional service to all other paths. In the #i#Nārāyaṇīya#/i# this is confirmed as follows: #/p# #dl##dd#yā vai sādhana-sampatti-puruṣārtha-catuṣṭaye#/dd# #dd#tayā vinā tad-āpnoti naro nārāyaṇāśrayaḥ#/dd##/dl# #p#The purport of this verse is that one should not engage in the different processes of fruitive activity or cultivate knowledge by the mental speculative process. One who is devoted to the Supreme Personality can attain all the benefits derived from other yogic processes, speculation, rituals, sacrifices, charities, etc. That is the specific benediction of devotional service. #$p#Simply by chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa-Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare-a devotee of the Lord can approach the supreme destination easily and happily, but this destination cannot be approached by any other process of religion. #$p#The conclusion of #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# is stated in the Eighteenth Chapter: #/p# #dl##dd#sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja#/dd# #dd#ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmiśucaḥ.#/dd##/dl# #p#One should give up all other processes of self-realization and simply execute devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That will enable one to reach the highest perfection of life. There is no need for one to consider the sinful actions of his past life because the Supreme Lord fully takes charge of him. Therefore one should not futilely try to deliver himself in spiritual realization. Let everyone take shelter of the supreme omnipotent Godhead Kṛṣṇa. That is the highest perfection of life. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXTS_6-7"#TEXTS 6-7#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्परः ।#/dd# #dd#अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते ॥६॥#/dd# #dd#तेषामहं समुद्धर्ता मृत्युसंसारसागरात् ।#/dd# #dd#भवामि नचिरात्पार्थ मय्यावेशितचेतसाम् ॥७॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi#/dd# #dd#mayi sannyasya mat-parāḥ#/dd# #dd#ananyenaiva yogena#/dd# #dd#māṁ dhyāyanta upāsate#/dd##/dl# #dl##dd#teṣām ahaṁ samuddhartā#/dd# #dd#mṛtyu-saṁsāra-sāgarāt#/dd# #dd#bhavāmi na cirāt pārtha#/dd# #dd#mayy āveśita-cetasām#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ye&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ye#/i# — those who;
