Text 29] = Prthu Maharaja’s Meeting with the Four Kumaras 925
rasdmrta-sindhu: anydsaktasya visayan yatharham upayuiijatah/ nirbandhah
krsna-sambandhe yuktam vairagyam ucyate (Bh.r.s. 1.2.255).

The liberated person has no attachment for anything material or for
sense gratification. He understands that everything is connected with the
Supreme Personality of Godhead and that everything should be engaged in
the service of the Lord. Therefore he does not give up anything. There is
no question of renouncing anything because the paramahamsa knows how
to engage everything in the service of the Lord. @riginally everything is
spiritual; nothing is material. In the Caitanya-caritamrta also it is explained
that a maha-bhagavata, a highly advanced devotee, has no material
vision, sthavara-jangama dekhe, na dekhe tara mirti/ sarvatra haya nija
istadeva-sphiirti (Cc. Madhya 8.274). Although he sees trees, mountains,
and other living entities moving here and there, he sees all as the creation
ot the Supreme Lord, and, with reference to the context, sees only the
creator and not the created. In other words, he no longer distinguishes
between the created and the creator. He sees only the Supreme Personality
of Godhead in everything. He sees Krsna in everything and everything in
Krsna. This is oneness.
