== Bhagavad-gita As It Is ==

=== BG Chapters 7 - 12 ===

'''Less intelligent people who have lost their spiritual sense take shelter of demigods for immediate fulfillment of material desires'''

<span class="BG-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:BG 7.20|BG 7.20, Purport]]:''' As stated in the Bhāgavatam (2.3.10):

: akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā
: mokṣa-kāma udāra-dhīḥ
: tīvreṇa bhakti-yogena
: yajeta puruṣaṁ param

Less intelligent people who have lost their spiritual sense take shelter of demigods for immediate fulfillment of material desires. Generally, such people do not go to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because they are in the lower modes of nature (ignorance and passion) and therefore worship various demigods. Following the rules and regulations of worship, they are satisfied. The worshipers of demigods are motivated by small desires and do not know how to reach the supreme goal, but a devotee of the Supreme Lord is not misguided.

=== BG Chapters 13 - 18 ===

'''In the absolute conception, there is no difference between the served and the servitor; yet the distinction is there, in a higher spiritual sense'''

<span class="BG-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:BG 18.54|BG 18.54, Purport]]:''' To the impersonalist, achieving the brahma-bhūta stage, becoming one with the Absolute, is the last word. But for the personalist, or pure devotee, one has to go still further, to become engaged in pure devotional service. This means that one who is engaged in pure devotional service to the Supreme Lord is already in a state of liberation, called brahma-bhūta [SB 4.30.20], oneness with the Absolute. Without being one with the Supreme, the Absolute, one cannot render service unto Him. In the absolute conception, there is no difference between the served and the servitor; yet the distinction is there, in a higher spiritual sense.

== Srimad-Bhagavatam ==

=== SB Canto 1===

'''At birth no one is qualified, neither in the mundane nor in the spiritual sense'''

<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.1.3|SB 1.1.3 Purport]]:'''Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī was a liberated soul from his very birth. He was liberated even in the womb of his mother, and he did not undergo any sort of spiritual training after his birth. At birth no one is qualified, neither in the mundane nor in the spiritual sense. But Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī, due to his being a perfectly liberated soul, did not have to undergo an evolutionary process for spiritual realization. Yet despite his being a completely liberated person situated in the transcendental position above the three material modes, he was attracted to this transcendental rasa of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is adored by liberated souls who sing Vedic hymns. The Supreme Lord's pastimes are more attractive to liberated souls than to mundane people. He is of necessity not impersonal because it is only possible to carry on transcendental rasa with a person.
