Text 12] The Characteristics of King Purafijana 1149
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam Saranam vraja
aham tvarh sarva-papebh yo
moksayisyami ma sucah
“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall
deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.” (Bg. 18.66)

Thus we are immediately relieved from traveling from one body to
another and from one planet to another. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says:
brahmanda bhramite kona bhagyavan jiva (Cc. Madhya 19.151). If, while
traveling, a living entity becomes fortunate enough to become blessed by
the association of devotees and to come to Krsna consciousness, his real
life actually begins. This Krsna consciousness movement is giving all
wandering living entities a chance to take to the shelter of Krsna and thus
become happy.

In this verse the words vimana iva are very significant. In this material
world even the great King of heaven is also full of anxiety. If even Lord
Brahma is full of anxiety, what of these ordinary living entities who are
working within this planet? Bhagavad-gitd confirms:

abrahma-bhuvanal lokah
punar avartino ‘rjuna
‘From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are
places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place.” (Bg. 8.16)
In the material world a living entity is never satisfied. Even in the position
of Brahma or in the position of Indra or Candra, one is full of anxiety
simply because he has accepted this material world as a place of happiness.
