PURPORT
Brahma-bhüta is the state of being free from material contamination and situated in the transcendental service of the Lord. Mad-bhaktim labhate paräm (Bg. 18.54). One cannot remain in the quality of Brahman, the Absolute, until one's mind is fixed on the lotus feet of the Lord. Sa vai manaù kåñëa-padäravindayoù. To be always engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, or to remain in Kåñëa consciousness, is to be factually liberated from the mode of passion and all material contamination.
