How to get out of this material clutches, is recommended here: mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes (SB 5.5.2). If you want to get free from this material conditional life, then you should approach a mahat, mahātmā. Mahat. Mahat means whose heart is expanded, whose mind is expanded, or his life is expanded. Mahat-seva. Seva means to serve him. In the Bhagavad-gītā also it is recommended, tad-vijñānārthaṁ . . . tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā (BG 4.34). The very word seva. Seva means "service." You have to approach a person who knows this science, how to get out this material conditional life. And then praṇipātena. Praṇipāt means just surrendering unto him. Pra means "fully." Prakṛṣṭa-rūpeṇa nipāta—fully surrender. Tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena.
