Prabhupada, Bombay, November 12, 1975: […] That means… Caitanya Mahaprabhu is immediately, by one word, giving you mukti. They are trying so much, undergoing austerities, penances, going to the Himalaya, making mystical…, so many things for mukti.
And Caitanya Mahaprabhu? That mukti He’s given directly: “Take this mukti.” This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu. “You simply try to understand your position, that you are eternal servant of Krishnna.” And as soon as you accept this position, you are mukti.
So mukti is not difficult for a devotee. Bilvamangala Thakura has said, muktih mukulitanjali sevate asman: “Oh, mukti? She is standing at my door with folded hands: ‘What can I do for you?’”
So the bhaktas, they do not care for mukti. They are already mukta. There is no need of separate endeavor for mukti. You simply accept this truth, that you are servant of Krishna — immediately you are mukta, immediately. It doesn’t require… It requires only one second to become mukta. It doesn’t require… Just like Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita,
sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami… [Bg. 18.66]
This is mukti. “You surrender unto Me, and immediately I save you.” Sarva-papebhyo…

There is nothing better when waking up early in the morning, then hearing and associating with SRILA PRABHUPADA’s wisdom.
It is important to notice in this class that the pure devotees of Sri Krishna do not do anything without consulting Sri Krishna first as the best friend, well wisher and proprietor of everything.
Because as SRILA PRABHUPADA mentions here all the trouble comes because we think we are independent in this material world.
Therefore we forget to consult Krishna and become frustated like a blind man who can’t see.
Therefore he doesn’t know what is the next danger. But SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU is the most merciful Avatara because HE is giving mukti to everyone just by making us to chant Hare Krishna maha mantra constantly.
To not forget that we are not svarat independent but depending all the time on the mercy and guidance of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA.
As soon as we are out of this protection maha maya immediately catches the law breaker by making him confused and in this way he forgets that he is a servant of god.
That’s why it is important to consult the supreme proprietor and controller of everything first by keep on chanting, this is the only way to burn all the karma in this age, hare nama eva kevalam kalau nasty eva, there is not another way but keep on chanting the yuga dharma maha mantra Hare Krishna.
It is just a question of time, even Jagai and Madhai got delivered by chanting Hare Krishna. They offended SRI NITYANANDA PRABHU directly but, dina hina jata chilo hari name uddharilo, the holy name delivered all those souls who were lowly and wretched, tara saksi, Jagai and Madhai.
The two sinners Jagai and Madhai are evidence of this, they got mukti through SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU.
So just keep on chanting – it requires only one second to become mukta liberated soul – then we will feel all the time jubilant and that’s it – mukti obtained by the sincere follower of Srila Prabhupada in Krishna consciousness.
