mat-sevayÄ - by being engaged fully in My transcendental loving service; pratÄ«tam - automatically achieved; te - such pure devotees are fully satisfied; sÄlokya-Ädi-catuá¹£á¹ayam - the four different types of liberation (sÄlokya, sÄrÅ«pya, sÄmÄ«pya and sÄrá¹£á¹i, what to speak of sÄyujya); na - not; icchanti - desire; sevayÄ - simply by devotional service; pÅ«rṇÄḥ - fully complete; kutaḥ - where is the question; anyat - other things; kÄla-viplutam - which are finished in the course of time.
My devotees, who are always satisfied to be engaged in My loving service, are not interested even in the four principles of liberation [sÄlokya, sÄrÅ«pya, sÄmÄ«pya and sÄrá¹£á¹i], although these are automatically achieved by their service. What then is to be said of such perishable happiness as elevation to the higher planetary systems?
ÅšrÄ«la Bilvamaá¹…gala ṬhÄkura has estimated the value of liberation as follows:
muktiḥ svayaá¹ mukulitÄñjaliḥ sevate ’smÄn
dharmÄrtha-kÄma-gatayaḥ samaya-pratÄ«ká¹£Äḥ
Bilvamaá¹…gala ṬhÄkura realized that if one develops his natural devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, mukti stands before him with folded hands to offer all kinds of service. In other words, the devotee is already liberated. There is no need for him to aspire for different types of liberation. The pure devotee automatically achieves liberation, even without desiring it.
