Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that liberation is not a state of voidness but is the process of getting out of the slumber of forgetfulness and becoming situated in the real loving service of the Lord. By transcending the modes of passion and ignorance through constant chanting and hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the practitioner rises to the platform of goodness.
