726 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 13
Lord’s mercy was bestowed upon him by his personal contact with Vidura,
and when he was actually practicing the instructions of Vidura, the Lord
helped him to attain the highest perfectional stage.

A pure devotee of the Lord does not live in any planet of the material
sky, nor does he feel any contact with material elements. His so-called
material body does not exist, being surcharged with the spiritual current
of the Lord’s identical interest, and thus he is permanently freed from all
contaminations of the sum total of the mahat-tattva. He is always in the
spiritual sky, which he attains by being transcendental to the sevenfold
material coverings by the effect of his devotional service. The conditioned
souls are within the coverings, whereas the liberated soul is far beyond the
cover.

He will have to suspend all the actions of the senses, even from the
outside, and will have to be impervious to interactions of the senses, which

of hindrances on the path.
