The Lord says (rmad-Bhgavatam 3.25.35-36):

"My devotees always see the smiling face of My form, with eyes like the rising sun.They like to see My various transcendental forms, which are all benevolent, and they alsotalk favorably with Me. Upon seeing My charming forms, smiling and attractive, andhearing My very pleasing words, the pure devotee almost loses other consciousness. Hissenses are freed from all other engagements, and he becomes absorbed in devotionalservice. Thus in spite of his unwillingness, he gets liberation without separate endeavor."*

This is the liberation the devotees attain. They do not attain impersonal liberatiion.Lord Kapila says (rmad-Bhgavatam 3.25.32): "When the service spirit is engaged indevotional service to the Personality of Godhead, without any motive, that is far bettereven than impersonal salvation."* In Kali-yuga by chanting the Lord's holy name oneattains the ecstatic love known as "rati", which eclipses all other goals of life.

Stradhra: (laughing) Here the word "liberation" means "becoming an associate ofthe Lord". Scripture says (rmad-Bhgavatam 6.2.43):

"Ajmila regained his original spiritual body, which was a body appropriate for anassociate of the Lord."

This, the philosophy of r Ka Caitanya, defeats all other philosophies. The piousand wise agree with Him. His incarnation has made the Kali-yuga auspicious.
