necchanti sevayā pūrṇāḥ
kuto ’nyat kāla-viplutam


SYNONYMS

TRANSLATION

"My devotees, having fulfilled their desires by serving Me, do not accept the four kinds of salvation that are easily earned by such service. Why then should they accept any pleasures that are lost in the course of time?"


PURPORT

This verse from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 9.4.67) was spoken by the Lord in connection with the characteristics of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. Merging into the existence of the Absolute is as temporary as living in the celestial kingdom. Both of them are controlled by time; neither position is permanent.
