Returning to our original position (Mundaka Upaniṣad #13)

The Lord is one, but He appears in many forms. He is present in His abode and inside everyone's heart. Possessing multiple, inconceivable potencies, He is the source and the maintainer of everything and He is the foundation of all sources of light. Because the Lord has potencies and qualities, it is undeniable that He is a person.Conditioned life means ignorance, and this ignorance and darkness keep us away from the Lord. However, when illuminated by the light of transcendental knowledge, we can perceive the Lord's transcendental form. When this realization is obtained, all karma is destroyed, and we become free of all material contamination.All material designations appear as the result of the false ego, and when this root cause is cut, we can again see ourselves as pure souls.Both conditioning and liberation are the result of the proper or improper use of free will. Love for Krsna is the eternal dharma of the soul, and love is possible only due to the existence of free will. When we finally decide we want to take the way back home, Krsna helps us in every way.
