Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

By virtue of self-realization fortified by service rendered to His feet, devotees of the Lord dispel the bodily concept of life, which has bewildered the soul since time immemorial. Thus they attain eternal glory in His personal association. How, then, can that Supreme Truth, the destination of all genuine saints, be subject to illusion?


PURPORT

As a result of fasting the body becomes weak, and one thinks, "I am emaciated." Similarly, sometimes a conditioned soul thinks, "I am happy" or "I am unhappy"—ideas based on the bodily concept of life. Simply by serving the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa, however, devotees become free from this bodily concept of life. So how could such illusion possibly affect the Supreme Personality of Godhead at any time?
