- When we get our attachment for hearing about Krsna, then at least we can consider that we have become free from material contamination
- When, freed from such unwanted association and from the contamination of material desires, one favorably cultivates knowledge of Krsna, that is called pure devotional service. BG 1972 purports
Y
- You (Krsna) are the last word in freedom from material contamination. I (Siva-jvara) therefore take shelter at Your lotus feet, giving up all other shelter
- You can be realized by the pure mind freed from all visible and invisible material contamination. We offer our respectful obeisances to You as the supreme spiritual master of knowledge in devotional service
- You may rest assured that if you traverse this path of self-realization perfectly, surely you shall be freed from fearful material contamination and shall ultimately reach Me
- You will develop unadulterated DS unto Me and be freed from all material contamination. At that time, being completely unattached to material enjoyment in the so-called heavenly planets as well as in hellish planets, you will return home, back to Godhead
- Yudhisthira said, "My dear Lord (Krsna), those who are constantly in Krsna consciousness and who think of Your lotus feet or Your shoes are certainly freed from all contamination of material life"
