With the māyāvādī misconceptions cleared away, Sanat-kumāra returns to the main point of elevating a person to the platform of devotional service. Because the soul is blissful by nature, it is very hard for jñānīs and yogīs to give up their material desires. However, when one comes to the platform of devotional service and experiences a higher taste in the transcendental service to the Lord, material sense gratification becomes tasteless and is automatically rejected. Devotional service is thus the ultimate process by which a soul entangled in this material world can quickly achieve the ultimate goal of life.
