Text 122] The Lord Instructs Sanatana Gosvami 63
that mdayd has actually given the conditioned soul liberation from illusory enjoy-
ment. When one is advanced in Krsna consciousness, he does not consider him-
self as good as Krsna. Whenever he thinks that he is the enjoyer of material advan-
tages, he is imprisoned in the bodily conception. However, when he is freed from
the bodily conception, he can engage in devotional service, which is his actual
position of freedom from the clutches of maya. This is all explained in the
following verse from Bhagavad-gita (7.14).
