Translation

Freed from the subtle conditioning of the mind and from the modes of nature born of material consciousness, the living entity becomes completely satisfied by experiencing My transcendental form. He no longer searches for enjoyment in the external energy, nor does he contemplate or remember such enjoyment within himself.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Freed from the subtle body and from the qualities arising in his mind, the jīva becomes completely satisfied with me, the Brahman. He no longer searches for enjoyment in the external sense objects, nor does he experience internal emotions like lamentation. Devoid of subtle body and qualities like lust arising in the antaḥkaraṇa, he does not enjoy external objects of the senses such as material sound and internal emotions like lamentation and illusion. Thus ends the commentary on the Twenty-fifth Chapter of the Eleventh Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas. Chapter Twenty-six The Song of Purūravā

Purport

The human form of life is a rare opportunity for achieving spiritual liberation in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Lord Kṛṣṇa has elaborately described in this chapter the characteristics of the three modes of nature and the transcendental situation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has ordered us to take shelter of the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, by which process we can easily transcend the modes of nature and begin our real life of loving devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa. Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Eleventh Canto, Twenty-fifth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Three Modes of Nature and Beyond.”
