Commentary

Mortal Samsara The round of birth and death. The devotee who does total, unconditional, and ungrudging selfsurrender to the Lord, who places himself completely at the mercy of the Lord, and who fixes of actions by offering them to the Lord and who thus destroys any power in the actions to bear fruit, and who has abandoned even the idea of liberation, is soon lifted by the Lord from the mortal plane to the abode of Immortality. I redeem such persons who have become Macchitta i.e., mind united with Me, from the ocean of the mortal world or worldly life, without delay. (Cf. X.10.11XII.6and7)
