Attaining Me, the high-souled ones beget such spiritual perfection (siddhi) that they no more fall a victim to perishability, the pitiable fate of misery.
Chapter 8: Akshara Brahma Yoga – Comprehending the Imperishable Reality - Verse 15
Ma Gurupriya
Attaining the Supreme, as in the case of Krishna, makes one high-souled. Such high-souled people embody the highest perfection of human life.
Human life is meant not for indulging in sensory comforts and gains, a domain meant for sub-humans. The rational human should turn his attention to the subject realm of existence, as different from the object realm. Inner resources development must be his first priority. This is what spirituality represents and signifies.
The supreme attainment Krishna describes elevates one to the highest perfection. Once you attain this, there is no question of falling again to this ephemeral world laden with various miseries and torments, which delude and victimize the Vedic ritualists. Alas, they crave for the titillating imaginary heavens, not knowing that they have to return from there to be victimized again by the human or still lower births and consequences.
