Kṛṣṇa gives the practical method to transcend the modes. He states that anyone who serves Him with unfailing, unalloyed devotion at once rises above the three modes of material nature and reaches the level of Brahman (Spirit). Bhakti is the helicopter that lifts you out of the forest of Gunas. You cannot fight the modes with your own strength because even your ‘fighting spirit’ is often just the mode of Passion. To escape the material world, you must hook yourself to something outside of it. By serving Kṛṣṇa (‘Sevate’), you connect with the Transcendental Source, which is untouched by the modes. This is a promise of immediate result. ‘Samatītya’ means to cross over completely. The moment your mind is fixed on Kṛṣṇa, you are no longer a victim of your moods or your past conditioning. You become ‘Brahma-bhūya’—spiritually situated—while still living in the body. Devotion is the ultimate shortcut to liberation.
