Adi-lila, Chapter 1 79

By contact with material nature the living entities exhibit varied symptoms of the
disease of material consciousness. To cure this material disease is the supreme object
of human life. The process that treats this disease is called bhagavata-dharma or
sanatana-dharma—real religion. This is described in the pages of $rimad-Bhagavatam.
Therefore anyone who, because of his background of pious activities in previous
lives, is anxious to hear, immediately realizes the presence of the Supreme Lord
within his heart and fulfills the mission of his life.

tara madhye moksa-vafichd kaitava-pradhana
yaha haite krsna-bhakti haya antardhana

SYNONYMS

tara—of them; madhye—in the midst; moksa-vaficha—the desire to merge into the
Supreme; kaitava—of cheating processes; pradhdna—the chief; yaha haite—from
which; krsna-bhakti—devotion to Lord Krsna; haya—becomes; antardhana—dis-
appearance.

TRANSLATION

The foremost process of cheating is to desire to achieve liberation by merging in
the Supreme, for this causes the permanent disappearance of loving service to Krsna.

PURPORT

The desire to merge in the impersonal Brahman is the subtlest type of atheism. As
soon as such atheism, disguised in the dress of liberation, is encouraged, one be-
comes completely unable to traverse the path of devotional service to the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.
