TRANSLATION One who understands
this philosophy concerning material nature, the living entity and the interaction
of the modes of nature is sure to attain liberation. He will not take birth
here again, regardless of his present position.
PURPORT Clear understanding
of material nature, the Supersoul, the individual soul and their interrelation
makes one eligible to become liberated and turn to the spiritual atmosphere
without being forced to return to this material nature. This is the result
of knowledge. The purpose of knowledge is to understand distinctly that
the living entity has by chance fallen into this material existence. By
his personal endeavor in association with authorities, saintly persons
and a spiritual master, he has to understand his position and then revert
to spiritual consciousness or Krsna consciousness by understanding Bhagavad-gita
as it is explained by the Personality of Godhead. Then it is certain that
he will never come again into this material existence; he will be transferred
into the spiritual world for a blissful eternal life of knowledge.
