TRANSLATION
When
your mind is no longer disturbed by the flowery language of the Vedas, and when
it remains fixed in the trance of self-realization, then you will have attained
the divine consciousness.
PURPORT
To say
that one is in samadhi is to
say that one has fully realized Krsna consciousness; that is, one in full samadhi has
realized Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan. The highest perfection of
self-realization is to understand that one is eternally the servitor of Krsna
and that one's only business is to discharge one's duties in Krsna
consciousness. A Krsna conscious person, or unflinching devotee of the Lord,
should not be disturbed by the flowery language of the Vedas nor be
engaged in fruitive activities for promotion to the heavenly kingdom. In Krsna
consciousness, one comes directly into communion with Krsna, and thus all
directions from Krsna may be understood in that transcendental state. One is
sure to achieve results by such activities and attain conclusive knowledge. One
has only to carry out the orders of Krsna or His representative, the spiritual
master.
