In this way it is to be understood that one is becoming cleansed of unwanted things ( anartha-nivṛtti ). The word  anartha  refers to unwanted things.  Anarthas  are vanquished when one becomes attached to the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
When a person is relieved from unwanted things, he becomes fixed in executing his Kṛṣṇa activities. Indeed, he becomes attached to such activities and experiences ecstasy in executing devotional service. This is called  bhāva , the preliminary awakening of dormant love of Godhead. Thus the conditioned soul becomes free from material existence and loses interest in the bodily conception of life, including material opulence, material knowledge and material attraction of all variety. At such a time one can understand who the Supreme Personality of Godhead is and what His  māyā  is.
Although  māyā  may be present, it cannot disturb a devotee once he attains the  bhāva  stage. This is because the devotee can see the real position of  māyā .  Māyā  means forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa, and forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa consciousness stand side by side like light and shadow. If one remains in shadow, he cannot enjoy the facilities offered by light, and if one remains in light, he cannot be disturbed by the darkness of shadow. By taking to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one gradually becomes liberated and remains in light. Indeed, he does not even touch the darkness. As confirmed in  Caitanya-caritāmṛta  (Madhya 22.31):
kṛṣṇa  — sūrya-sama ;  māyā  haya andhakāra yāhāṅ kṛṣṇa, tāhāṅ nāhi māyāra adhikāra
