position in material existence. After becoming so detached, one becomes actually perfect in knowledge and engages perfectly in the service of Lord Vāsudeva. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu says:  jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya—kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’ . “Every living entity is by constitutional position an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa.” As soon as one engages in the service of Lord Vāsudeva, he attains his normal constitutional position. This position is called the liberated stage.  Muktīr hitvānyathā rūpaṁ svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ : in the liberated stage one is situated in his original Kṛṣṇa conscious position. He gives up all engagement in the service of matter, engagements concocted under the names of social service, national service, community service, dog service, automobile service, and so many other services conducted under the illusion of “I” and “mine.”
As explained in the Second Chapter of the First Canto:
vāsudeve bhagavati bhakti-yogaḥ prayojitaḥ janayaty āśu vairāgyaṁ jñānaṁ ca yad ahaitukam
“By rendering devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, one immediately acquires causeless knowledge and detachment from the world.” ( Bhāg.  1.2.7) Thus one must engage in the service of Vāsudeva without material desire, mental speculation or fruitive activity.
