It is the active, scientific engagement of the senses in the service of the Supreme Lord, distinct from ''karma'', ''jñāna'', and ''yoga''. Far from being a theoretical pursuit, ''bhakti'' is a practical realization of the soul's eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__</div> === Spiritual Science Beyond Sentiment === Śrīla Prabhupāda..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that a progressive march back to Godhead depends entirely on the instructions of a realized devotee.

By denying the eternal personality of Godhead and the individuality of the soul, this school of thought—rooted in the teachings of Śaṅkarācārya—creates a spiritual vacuum that mimics the voidism of Buddhism. This article explores how impersonalism distorts Vedic texts, denies..."
