Text 38] Purafijana Becomes a Woman in the Next Life 1331
Bhakti-yoga will automatically liberate a person from the dualities of life.
In bhakti-yoga, Krsna is the center, and Krsna is always transcendental.
Thus in order to transcend dualities, one must always engage in the service
of the Lord, as confirmed by Bhagavad-gita:
mam ca yo ’vyabhicarena
bhakti-yogena sevate
sa gunan samatityaitan
brahma-bhiyaya kalpate
“One who engages in full devotional service, who does not fall down in any
circumstance, at once transcends the modes of material nature and thus
comes to the level of Brahman.” (Bg. 14.26)

If one is factually engaged in the service of the Lord, bhakti-yoga, he will
automatically control his senses, his tongue and so many other things.
Once engaged in the bhakti-yoga process with all sincerity, one will have
no chance of falling down. Even if one falls down, there is no loss. One’s
devotional activities may be stunned or choked for the time being, but as
soon as there is another chance, the practitioner begins from the point
where he left off.
