Bhagavad Gita As It IsReferences to text BG 7.28 |
BG 7.28: Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with determination.

| And when the yogī engages himself with sincere endeavor in making further progress, being washed of all contaminations, then ultimately, achieving perfection after many, many births of practice, he attains the supreme goal. Dhyana-yoga |
| BG 6.45 |
| Please, therefore, leave for the North immediately, without letting your relatives know, for soon that time will approach which will diminish the good qualities of men. Dhritarashtra Quits Home |
| SB 1.13.28 |
| They all had performed all the principles of religion and as a result rightly decided that the lotus feet of the Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa are the supreme goal of all. Therefore they meditated upon His feet without interruption. The Pandavas Retire Timely |
| SB 1.15.46 |
| The Personality of Godhead is pure, being free from all contaminations of material tinges. He is the Absolute Truth and the embodiment of full and perfect knowledge. He is all-pervading, without beginning or end, and without rival. O NÄrada, O great sage, the great thinkers can know Him when completely freed from all material hankerings and when sheltered under undisturbed conditions of the senses. Otherwise, by untenable arguments, all is distorted, and the Lord disappears from our sight. Purusha-sukta Confirmed |
| SB 2.6.40-41 |
| By his piety, Vidura achieved the advantages of the pious Kauravas. After leaving HastinÄpura, he took shelter of many places of pilgrimages, which are the Lord’s lotus feet. With a desire to gain a high order of pious life, he traveled to holy places where thousands of transcendental forms of the Lord are situated. Questions by Vidura |
| SB 3.1.17 |
| My dear respectable ladies and gentlemen, according to the authoritative statements of Å›Ästra, there must be a supreme authority who is able to award the respective benefits of our present activities. Otherwise, why should there be persons who are unusually beautiful and powerful both in this life and in the life after death? Instructions by Maharaja Prithu |
| SB 4.21.27 |
| King Pṛthu spoke: My dear great sages, auspiciousness personified, it is very difficult for even the mystic yogīs to see you. Indeed, you are very rarely seen. I do not know what kind of pious activity I performed for you to grace me by appearing before me without difficulty. Prithu Maharaja's Meeting with the Four Kumaras |
| SB 4.22.7 |
| Attachment for the Supreme can be increased by practicing devotional service, inquiring about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, applying bhakti-yoga in life, worshiping the Yogeśvara, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and by hearing and chanting about the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These actions are pious in themselves. Prithu Maharaja's Meeting with the Four Kumaras |
| SB 4.22.22 |
| ÅšrÄ« Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« said: What you have said is correct. The glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is praised in eloquent, transcendental verses by such exalted personalities as BrahmÄ, are very pleasing to great devotees and liberated persons. One who is attached to the nectarean honey of the Lord’s lotus feet, and whose mind is always absorbed in His glories, may sometimes be checked by some impediment, but he still never gives up the exalted position he has acquired. The Activities of Maharaja Priyavrata |
| SB 5.1.5 |
| At the time of death, this AjÄmila helplessly and very loudly chanted the holy name of the Lord, NÄrÄyaṇa. That chanting alone has already freed him from the reactions of all sinful life. Therefore, O servants of YamarÄja, do not try to take him to your master for punishment in hellish conditions. Ajamila Delivered by the Vishnudutas |
| SB 6.2.13 |
| O sinless MahÄrÄja ParÄ«ká¹£it, the order carriers of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ViṣṇudÅ«tas, saw that AjÄmila was attempting to say something, and thus they suddenly disappeared from his presence. Ajamila Delivered by the Vishnudutas |
| SB 6.2.23 |
| Just as great learned brÄhmaṇas who are expert in performing ritualistic ceremonies and sacrifices can extract the fire dormant within wooden fuel by chanting the fifteen SÄmidhenÄ« mantras, thus proving the efficacy of the Vedic mantras, so those who are actually advanced in consciousness — in other words, those who are Kṛṣṇa conscious — can find the Supersoul, who by His own spiritual potency is situated within the heart. The heart is covered by the three modes of material nature and the nine material elements [material nature, the total material energy, the ego, the mind and the five objects of sense gratification], and also by the five material elements and the ten senses. These twenty-seven elements constitute the external energy of the Lord. Great yogÄ«s meditate upon the Lord, who is situated as the Supersoul, ParamÄtmÄ, within the core of the heart. May that Supersoul be pleased with me. The Supersoul is realized when one is eager for liberation from the unlimited varieties of material life. One actually attains such liberation when he engages in the transcendental loving service of the Lord and realizes the Lord because of his attitude of service. The Lord may be addressed by various spiritual names, which are inconceivable to the material senses. When will that Supreme Personality of Godhead be pleased with me? The Hamsa-guhya Prayers |
| SB 6.4.27-28 |
| King ParÄ«ká¹£it inquired from Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ«: O learned brÄhmaṇa, demons are generally sinful, being obsessed with the modes of passion and ignorance. How, then, could Vá¹›trÄsura have attained such exalted love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, NÄrÄyaṇa? King Citraketu's Lamentation |
| SB 6.14.1 |
| O brÄhmaṇas [teachers], as iron attracted by a magnetic stone moves automatically toward the magnet, my consciousness, having been changed by His will, is attracted by Lord Viṣṇu, who carries a disc in His hand. Thus I have no independence. Prahlada Maharaja, the Saintly Son of Hiranyakasipu |
| SB 7.5.14 |
| As one can derive fire from wood, milk from the milk bag of the cow, food grains and water from the land, and prosperity in one’s livelihood from industrial enterprises, so, by the practice of bhakti-yoga, even within this material world, one can achieve Your favor or intelligently approach You. Those who are pious all affirm this. The Demigods and Demons Declare a Truce |
| SB 8.6.12 |
| One should have firm faith that he will achieve all success in life by following those scriptures that describe the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, BhagavÄn. At the same time, one should avoid blaspheming other scriptures. One should rigidly control his mind, speech and bodily activities, always speak the truth, and bring the mind and senses under full control. Liberation from the Illusory Energy |
| SB 11.3.26 |
| By refraining from a particular sinful or materialistic activity, one becomes freed from its bondage. Such renunciation is the basis of religious and auspicious life for human beings and drives away all suffering, illusion and fear. Lord Krishna's Explanation of the Vedic Path |
| SB 11.21.18 |
| Simply chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra without offenses vanquishes all sinful activities. Thus pure devotional service, which is the cause of love of Godhead, becomes manifest. The Author Receives the Orders of Krishna and Guru |
| CC 1.8.26 |
| “A person influenced by the external energy is called bahirmukha jana, a mundane person, because despite his perception, he cannot understand the real substance.†Hearing GopÄ«nÄtha Ä€cÄrya say this, SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹á¹ÄcÄrya smiled and began to speak as follows. The Liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya |
| CC 2.6.92 |
| “ ‘In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.’ †The Liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya |
| CC 2.6.242 |
| “Therefore, Amogha, get up and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra! If you do so, Kṛṣṇa will unfailingly bestow mercy upon you.†The Lord Accepts Prasadam at the House of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya |
| CC 2.15.277 |
| “We do not hear of such wonderful things anywhere else. Simply by one’s hearing of those incidents, one’s consciousness is agitated and cleansed. The Opulence and Sweetness of Lord Sri Krishna |
| CC 2.21.18 |
| “Tomorrow I will surely finish, and my vow will be fulfilled. Then it will be possible for me to enjoy with you in full freedom.†The Glories of Srila Haridasa Thakura |
