Srimad Bhagavatam · 29 · Verse 36-37
Sanskrit Original
अथात्मनोऽर्थभूतस्य यतोऽनर्थपरम्परा । संसृतिस्तद्वयवच्छेदो भक्त्या परमया गुरौ ॥ ३६ ॥ वासुदेवे भगवति भक्तियोग: समाहित: । सध्रीचीनेन वैराग्यं ज्ञानं च जनयिष्यति ॥ ३७ ॥
athātmano ’rtha-bhūtasya yato ’nartha-paramparā saṁsṛtis tad-vyavacchedo bhaktyā paramayā gurau
The real interest of the living entity is to get out of the nescience that causes him to endure repeated birth and death. The only remedy is to surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead through His representative. Unless one renders devotional service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, one cannot possibly become completely detached from this material world, nor can he possibly manifest real knowledge.
