TRANSLATION
My dear mother, those who are actually transcendentalists certainly
follow My instructions, as I have given them to you. You may rest
assured that if you traverse this path of self-realization perfectly, surely
you shall be freed from fearful material contamination and shall ultimately
reach Me. Mother, persons who are not conversant with this method of
devotional service certainly cannot get out of the cycle of birth and
death.
PURPORT
Material existence is full of anxiety, and therefore it is fearful. One
who gets out of this material existence automatically becomes free from
all anxieties and fear. One who follows the path of devotional service
enunciated by Lord Kapila is very easily liberated.
