PURPORT
Becoming one with the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not very important for a devotee.
Muktih svayam mukulitanjali sevate ’sman (Krsna-karnamrta 107).
Speaking from his actual experience, Srila Bilvamangala Thakura says that if one develops love of Godhead, mukti (liberation) becomes subservient and unimportant to him.
Mukti stands before the devotee and is prepared to render all kinds of services.
The Mayavadi philosophers’ standard of mukti is very insignificant for a devotee, for by devotional service even the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes subordinate to him.
An actual example is that the Supreme Lord Krsna became the chariot driver of Arjuna, and when Arjuna asked Him to draw his chariot between the two armies (senayor ubhayor madhye ratham sthapaya me ’cyuta), Krsna executed his order.
Such is the relationship between the Supreme Lord and a devotee that although the Lord is greater than the greatest, He is prepared to render service to the insignificant devotee by dint of his sincere and unalloyed devotional service.
