# Path of Bhakti – BEYOND the World

The *bhakti-yogis* look BEYOND the world. This world is a bridge leading to our true home, and things within it can be appropriately engaged for the purpose of pleasing Krishna. Devotees find a way to interact with the world which uplifts themselves and elevates others. This is known as *yukta-vairagya*, or the process of engaging worldly things for a higher cause and spiritual purpose. \[21[^1]]

Taking a human birth in the earthly realm is a unique opportunity to perfect one’s spirituality. In an age where Krishna reveals the joyful process of chanting (*harinam-sankirtana*), all the obstacles, issues and complexities can easily be overcome. For persons who adopt this spiritual lifeline, the whole world becomes full of happiness (*visvam purna sukhayate*). As Lord Siva explains: *“Devotees solely engaged in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana, never fear any condition of life. For them the heavenly planets, liberation, and the hellish planets are all the same, for such devotees are interested only in the service of the Lord.”* [(SB 6.17.28)](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/6/17/28/)
