Prabhupada: That is sa gunan
samatityaitan, that is mukti. Baddha, conditioned, means we are under the three
modes of material nature. That is conditioned. And mukti means you are not under
the obligation of the three modes of material nature. That is karma-mukta. So
Krsna can make you immediately mukta. Aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami.
That is Krsna's power. Prabhavisnave namah. He can make the lowest class of
men... Kirata-hunandhra-pulinda-pulkasa abhira-sumbha yavanah khasadayah ye 'nye
ca papah [SB 2.4.18]. They are considered as the most sinful, less than the
sudras, candalas. Kirata-hunandhra-pulinda-pulkasa... Or more sinful, sudhyanti.
They can be purified by the mercy, by the power, prabhavisnave namah. Visnu has
got so much power. So that power you can have the benefit if you surrender to
Visnu. Therefore Krsna personally comes and requests you,
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam
vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah
[Bg.
18.66]
So here is Krsna's direction. You take always Krsna's
direction, then that is bhakti, and you remain brahma-bhuyaya kalpate. [Bg.
14.26] You are always immune from the sinful reactions of this material world.
It does not mean... You cannot manufacture. Actually you have to follow the
orders of Krsna. Just like Arjuna is being advised. You simply follow Krsna. Not
that whimsically he was going to punish Asvatthama. Under direction of Krsna.
Similarly, in every step of your life, if you take Krsna's direction or His
representative's direction, then you are safe.
Thank you very much.
