Text 112] Explanations of the Atmarama Verse 141
brahma-bhitah prasannatma
na socati na kanksati
samah sarvesu bhitesu
mad-bhaktim labhate param
“One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman
and is fully joyful. He never laments nor desires to have anything; he is equally dis-
posed to every living entity. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto
Me.” (Bg. 18.54)

To attain the platform of pure devotional service, one has to become spiritually
pure and attain the brahma-bhdata platform, which is beyond material anxiety and
material discrimination. When one approaches pure devotional service after
realizing Brahman, one becomes attracted by pure devotional service. At such a
time, by rendering devotional service, one gets a spiritual body with purified
senses.

When one’s senses are pure, one can render loving devotional service to Krsna. A
pure devotee can only remember Krsna’s transcendental qualities. Remembering
them, he fully engages in the loving service of the Lord.
