Text 7] Mohini-marti Bewilders Lord Siva 103
desires for sense gratification engage constantly in the transcen-
dental service of Your lotus feet.
PURPORT

One is in the material world when he thinks, “I am this body, and
everything with reference to my body is mine.” Ato grha-ksetra-sutapta-
vittair janasya moho ’yam aham mameti. This is the symptom of ma-
terial life. In the materialistic conception of life, one thinks, ““This is my
house, this is my land, this is my family, this is my state,” and so on. But
those who are munayah, saintly persons following in the footsteps of
Narada Muni, simply engage in the transcendental loving service of the
Lord without any personal desire for sense gratification. Anyabhilasita-
Siinyam jndna-karmady-andavrtam. Either in this life or in the next, the
only concern of such saintly devotees is to serve the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. Thus they are also absolute because they have no other
desires. Being freed from the dualities of material desire, they are called
Sreyas-kamah. In other words, they are not concerned with dharma
(religiosity), artha (economic development), or kama (sense gratifica-
tion). The only concern of such devotees is moksa, liberation. This moksa
does not refer to becoming one with the Supreme like the Mayavadi phi-
losophers. Caitanya Mahaprabhu explained that real moksa means taking
shelter of the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead. The Lord clearly
explained this fact while instructing Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya.
Sarvabhauma Bhattacdrya wanted to correct the word mukti-pade in
Srimad-Bhagavatam, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu informed him that there
is no need to correct any word in Srimad-Bhagavatam. He explained that
mukti-pade refers to the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of God-
head, Visnu, who offers mukti and is therefore called Mukunda. A pure
devotee is not concerned with material things. He is not concerned with
religiosity, economic development or sense gratification. He is interested
only in serving the lotus feet of the Lord.
