Bhagavad-gita As It Is
BG Chapters 7 - 12
BG 12.6-7, Purport:
In the Varāha Purāṇa this verse appears:
- nayāmi paramaṁ sthānam
- arcir-ādi-gatiṁ vinā
- garuḍa-skandham āropya
- yatheccham anivāritaḥ
The purport of this verse is that a devotee does not need to practice aṣṭāṅga-yoga in order to transfer his soul to the spiritual planets. The responsibility is taken by the Supreme Lord Himself. He clearly states here that He Himself becomes the deliverer. A child is completely cared for by his parents, and thus his position is secure. Similarly, a devotee does not need to endeavor to transfer himself by yoga practice to other planets. Rather, the Supreme Lord, by His great mercy, comes at once, riding on His bird carrier Garuḍa, and at once delivers the devotee from material existence.
