80 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 8, Ch. 3
statements given by the Supreme when He kindly incarnates to instruct
us. We must simply accept the word of Lord Ramacandra, Lord Krsna
and Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and follow in Their footsteps. Then it

evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma
naiti mam eti so ’rjuna
(Bg. 4.9)
If by the Lord’s grace one can understand Him, one will immediately be
delivered, even within his material body. The material body will no
longer have any function, and whatever activities take place with the
body will be activities of Krsna consciousness. In this way one may give
up his body and return home, back to Godhead.
