Rahūgaṇa Converses with Jaḍa Bharata
419
PURPORT
Actual knowledge of transcendental bliss can be bestowed upon anyone by a pure devotee.  Vedeṣu durlabham adurlabham ātma-bhaktau . One cannot attain the perfection of spiritual life simply by following the directions of the  Vedas . One has to approach a pure devotee:  an-yābhilāśitā-śūnyam jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam . By the grace of such a devotee, one can understand the Absolute Truth,  Kṛṣṇa , and one's relationship with Him. A materialistic person sometimes thinks that simply by executing pious activities and remaining at home one can understand the Absolute Truth. That is denied in this verse. Nor can one understand the Absolute Truth simply by observing the rules and regulations of  brahmacarya  (celibacy). One only has to serve the pure devotee. That will help one understand the Absolute Truth without fail.
