A devotee doesn't want mukti. What is mukti? Naryana parayanah . . . (indistinct) . . .. One who is actually devotee, he doesn't care where he is placed, in the hell or heaven, he doesn't care. He simply wants to serve Kṛṣṇa, never mind where he . . . (indistinct) . . ., not even heaven or hell. The same thing: because a devotee does not live either in hell or heaven, he lives in Vaikuṇṭha always.

Prahlāda Mahārāja was offered, "Prahlāda, you take one benediction. You take." Dhruva Mahārāja also, he was pure devotee. Dhruva was offered that "If you want the largest kingdom than Brahmā, and it was created, Dhruva star. You go there and enjoy." So he was then very regretful, that "How foolish I was. I came to offer my respects to the Supreme Lord for some material exchange." He became very regretful. He said, "My Lord, whatever I was asking, it was my ignorance. Now I don't want." Svāmin kṛtārtho'smi varaṁ na yāce ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.42|CC Madhya 22.42]], Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya 7.28). "It was a mistake that I wanted some material benediction from You." This is pure, nirguṇa. This is nirguṇa.

As soon as there is some demand, that is saguṇa; that is not pure. Simply avyabhicārī bhakti. Not mixed with jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]). Not covered by jñāna and karma and yoga. Caitanya-caritāmṛta says, bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kāmī, sakali 'aśānta' ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.149|CC Madhya 19.149]]). Bhukti, the karmis, they want some material profit. So Kṛṣṇa gives. And mukti, liberation, they are wanted by the jñānīs, to become free from this material botheration and become one with God. This is also another demand, jñānī.

So bhukti-mukti—mukti, they want mukti. A devotee doesn't want mukti. What is mukti? Naryana parayanah . . . (indistinct) . . .. One who is actually devotee, he doesn't care where he is placed, in the hell or heaven, he doesn't care. He simply wants to serve Kṛṣṇa, never mind where he . . . (indistinct) . . ., not even heaven or hell. The same thing: because a devotee does not live either in hell or heaven, he lives in Vaikuṇṭha always.
