Chapter 9Text 32-34 Taking shelter of Krsna. Krsna Consciousness – only means of deliverance.
Text 32 mäà hi pärtha vyapäçritya ye 'pi syuù päpa-yonayaù striyo vaiçyäs tathä çüdräs te 'pi yänti paräà gatim O son of Påthä, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth—women, vaiçyas [merchants] and çüdras [workers]—can attain the supreme destination.
Taking shelter of Krsna • In devotional service there is no distinction between the lower and higher classes of people. • Devotional service and the guidance of a pure devotee are very strong. • The process of devotional service is so strong that the pure devotee of the Supreme Lord can enable people of all the lower classes to attain the highest perfection of life. • Shelter of Krsna is most potent form of purification.
Text 33 kià punar brähmaëäù puëyä bhaktä räjarñayas tathä anityam asukhaà lokam imaà präpya bhajasva mäm How much more this is so of the righteous brähmaëas, the devotees and the saintly kings. Therefore, having come to this temporary, miserable world, engage in loving service unto Me.
Going back to Spiritual world • Different divisions of human society :Four varnasLower than sudras or outcastePapa-yoni • Yet this world not a happy place for anyone of these categories. • No one should remain in this temporary world, full as it is with miseries. Everyone should attach himself to the bosom of the Supreme Personality of Godhead so that he can be eternally happy.
Text 34 man-manä bhava mad-bhakto mad-yäjé mäà namaskuru mäm evaiñyasi yuktvaivam ätmänaà mat-paräyaëaù Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me.
Krsna Consciousness Only means of deliverance • Kåñëa consciousness is the only means of being delivered from the clutches of this contaminated material world. • Demons thinking of Kåñëa as enemy, is not Kåñëa Consciousness. • Engaging in devotional service. • Worship of anything or anyone other than Krsna is foolishness. • Live happily in this world and attain Kåñëa after this life simply by practice of Kåñëa Consciousness.
