*sālokya*—to live on the same planet; *sārṣṭi*—to acquire the same opulence; *sārūpya*—to achieve the same bodily features; *sāmīpya*—to live always near the Supreme Lord; *ekatvam*—to merge into the existence of the Lord; *api*—even; *uta*—certainly; *dīyamānam*—being offered; *na gṛhṇanti*—do not take; *vinā*—without; *mat-sevanam*—My service; *janāḥ*—the devotees.

**"My devotees do not accept sālokya, sārṣṭi, sārūpya, sāmīpya, or oneness with Me-even if I offer these liberations-in preference to serving Me.' "**

This verse is spoken by Lord Kapila, an *avatāra* of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* (3.29.13).
