and one should take to the service of the Lord. This is the perfection of
life. Srila Madhvacdrya says, acyutatém cyuti-varjanam. The word
acyutatam refers to one who never falls to this material world but always
remains in the Vaikuntha world, fully engaged in the service of the

Lord.

world; purnsah—of the living entity; sva-arthah—the real self-interest;
parah—transcendental; smrtah—regarded; ekanta-bhaktih—unalloyed

TRANSLATION

In this material world, to render service to the lotus feet of
Govinda, the cause of all causes, and to see Him everywhere, is the
only goal of life. This much alone is the ultimate goal of human
life, as explained by all the revealed scriptures.

PURPORT

In this verse the words sarvatra tad-iksanam describe the highest per-
fection of devotional service, in which one sees everything with
reference to Govinda’s activities. The highly elevated devotee never sees
anything unrelated to Govinda.

sthavara-jangama dekhe, na dekhe tara mirti
sarvatra haya nia ista-deva-sphirti
