Any one who may carefully recite all about the mysterious appearance of the Lord, with devotion in the morning and in the evening that man gets relief from all miseries of life.
PURPORT
In the Bhagwat Geeta the Personality of Godhead has declared it that any one who may know the principles of transcendental birth and activities of the Lord in fact, will go back to Godhead after being relieved from this material tabernacle. So simply by knowing factually the mysterious way of the Lord's appearance as incarnation on this material world, means liberation from material bondage. Therefore the birth and activities of the Lord as they are manifested by Him for the welfare of the people in general, is not an ordinary birth like other living beings. It is something mysterious and only those who carefully try to go deep into the matter by spiritual devotion only to them the mystery is discovered and thus the knower becomes relieved from all miseries of life. This means he gets liberation from the material bondage. It is advised therefore that one who may simply recite this chapter of Bhagwat describing the appearance of the Lord in different incarnations in sincerity and devotion, will help one self penetrate into the insight of such birth and activities of the Lord. The very word vimukti or liberation indicates that the Lord's birth and activities are all transcendental otherwise simply by reciting such activities no body would attain liberation. They are therefore mysterious and those who do not follow the prescribed regulations of devotional service are not entitled to enter into the mysteries of His such births and activities.
