TRANSLATION

Thus intelligence engaged in My devotion can never be separated at any time. Even at the time of creation as well as at the time of annihilation of the living beings your remembrance will continue by My mercy.


PURPORT

Any devotional service rendered to the cause of the Personality of Godhead never goes in vain. The Personality of Godhead being eternal, intelligence applied in His service or anything done in His relation is also permanent. In the Bhagwat Geeta it is said that such transcendental service rendered unto the Personality of Godhead accumulates birth after birth of the devotees and when they are fully matured the total service counted together makes one eligible to enter into the association of the Personality of Godhead. Such accumulation of God's service never vanquishes but increases till fully matured.
