Just like a layman does not know how the sun appears and disappears, but an astronomer, he knows very well the movements of the sun, moon and other planets' appearance and disappearance. This is a science, astronomy. Similarly, there is a science of God by which you can understand how God appears, disappears, how He acts, how He works. Everything is there. But if you are not interested, that does not mean that the science of God is false or there is no such science. There is. You must be interested to know, then you can understand. And if you simply understand this science, then you become liberated. It is open order. Simply by understanding—even not engaging yourself in transcendental service of the Lord—simply by understanding the process of appearance and disappearance. So why don't you try that?.

If one can understand the principles of appearance and disappearance of God, His activities, so simply by understanding these principles he will be liberated. It is said here that after quitting this body, he is no more coming to take birth again in this material world.

Go on. Purport.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Purport: "The Lord's descent from His transcendental abode is already explained in the sixth verse. One who can understand the truth of the appearance of the Personality of Godhead is already liberated from material bondage, and therefore he returns to the kingdom of God immediately after quitting his present material body. Such liberation of the living entity from material bondage is not at all easy. The impersonalist and the yogīs attain liberation only after much trouble and many, many births. Even then their liberation is . . ."

Prabhupāda: Try to understand bondage, what is bondage. We are thinking we are very . . . we are free. We are declaring that "We belong to the free nation" or "free community," or everyone is seeking after freedom. But nobody is free. Nobody is free. Everyone is under the stringent laws of nature. So bondage means to remain under the condition of material laws. That is called bondage.
