But when you want to surrender at the feet of the Lord and worship Him as per the instruction of the Vedas, that devotion is Sathwik and hence recommended.

3.29.11 – 14

Bhagavan continues, “The Bhakthi that has transcended all other Gunas and even Sathwik Bhakthi is the Supreme Bhakthi. Such a devotee never expects any thing from Me. He feels no separation from Me. That Bhakthi takes you to Moksham”.

Such devotees do not desire even Mukthi. The five types of Mukthi are Salokyam, Sarshti, Sameepyam, Saroopyam, Ekathwam. Salokyam is living in the same world with Bhagavan. Sarshtyam is being prosperous like Bhagavan. Sameepyam is living near Bhagavan. Saroopyam is attaining His Swaroopam. Sayoojyam or Ekathwam is becoming One with Bhagavan.

Bhagavan says, “even if I grant these boons to the Uttama Bhaktha, he doesn’t want it. He just wants to serve Me and be with Me. After leaving the body, this Nirguna Bhaktha will become One with Me”.

Note – Bhagavatham establishes that only a devotee with such Nishkama Bhakthi can attain Moksham.
