Dhruva Mahārāja Leaves Home for the Forest
339
PURPORT
Devotional service is so potent that one who renders devotional service can receive whatever he likes as a benediction from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conditioned souls are very attached to the material world, and thus, by performing religious rites, they want the material benefits known as  dharma  and  artha .

TRANSLATION
If one is very serious about liberation, then he must stick to the process of transcendental loving service, engaging twenty-four hours a day in the highest stage of ecstasy, and he must certainly be aloof from all activities of sense gratification.
PURPORT
There are different stages of perfection according to different persons' objectives. Generally people are  karmīs , for they engage in activities of sense gratification. Above the  karmīs  are the  jñānīs , who are trying to become liberated from material entanglement.  Yogīs  are still more advanced because they meditate on the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And above all these are the devotees, who simply engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord; they are situated seriously on the topmost platform of ecstasy.
Here Dhruva Mahārāja is advised that if he has no desire for sense gratification, then he should directly engage himself in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. The path of  apavarga , or liberation, begins from the stage called  mokṣa . In this verse the word  vimuktaye , "for liberation,"
