In plain words
‘A wicked man, an evil man, a sinner who reviled God, and for him, sāyujya Mukti! His blood falling on Kṛṣṇa's feet!’ Doubts like these arose in him in many ways. He could not bear it. ‘Nārada! What is the inner meaning of this astonishing sight?’ he asked. Nārada says: ‘Dharmaja! Blame, praise and contempt all belong to the body, not to the Ātma. You take the very body, with its Ahaṅkāra and possessiveness, to be Kṛṣṇa. So long as you have this delusion of the upādhi, blame, praise and contempt will all stay with you like rocks.
Merging in God through Prema is everlasting
God is not of the form of the upādhi. God is eternally pure. ‘Nirguṇaṃ, nirañjanaṃ, sanātanaṃ, niketanaṃ, nitya, śuddha, buddha, mukta, nirmala svarūpiṇaṃ.’ None of this contempt and honour touches such a God at all. In the world, many attain Mukti by reviling God. Some others attain Mukti by praising Him. Still others attain Mukti through friendship. Another attains Mukti through Prema. But the wicked reach sāyujya with God more easily even than those who reach it through Prema. What is the reason? The wicked man merges in God very swiftly. The devotee goes through many hardships, troubles, losses, sorrows and tests, is afflicted in many ways, and only then becomes one with God. What is the difference between this and that? The merging of the supreme devotee with God through Prema is everlasting. It is full of Ānanda. But the wicked and the evil merge in God then and there. That is momentary and without Ānanda. All merge in God. But the union of one who has offered himself to God through Prema is everlasting. So we must understand the principle of the Ātma well. In the world, so many of the wicked, the evil and the impure appear to have reached a good end while remembering God.
