  • 05:3105:31, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,568‎ N Becoming Interested in the Supreme Absolute Truth ‎ Created page with "This article defines the true objective of human life as the cultivation of interest in spiritual reality. Śrīla Prabhupāda contrasts the misguided interests of modern civilization—focused on temporary bodily comforts and political affairs—with the eternal necessity of self-realization. A sane human being must graduate from animalistic propensities and become interested in inquiring about the Absolute Truth, utilizing the rare human form to solve the ultimate prob..."
  • 05:2505:25, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,203‎ N How to Become Intelligent in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness ‎ Created page with "This article explores the distinction between material cunning and spiritual wisdom as presented by Śrīla Prabhupāda. While modern civilization equates intelligence with academic degrees and technological advancement, Vedic philosophy defines it as the awakening of spiritual inquiry. The text examines how true intelligence is manifested through the worship of Lord Kṛṣṇa and warns against the spiritual danger of becoming "over-intelligent" through mental speculat..."
  • 05:1705:17, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,282‎ N How Material Existence Becomes Insignificant through Devotion ‎ Created page with "This article explores the transformative power of devotional service, which renders the formidable obstacles of the material world negligible. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that by taking shelter of the Supreme Lord, the vast ocean of birth and death shrinks to the size of a calf's hoofprint. The text further illuminates how deep-rooted material desires, including the attraction to sex life and the pursuit of impersonal liberation, naturally fade into insignificance when..."
  • 05:0905:09, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,937‎ N Process and Qualifications for Becoming Initiated ‎ Created page with "This article examines the spiritual milestones and strict requirements necessary for becoming initiated into the line of disciplic succession. Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that initiation is a serious vow that follows a natural progression of faith and association. The text details the mandatory purification process—known as ''tapasya''—and the ultimate acceptance of the spiritual master's shelter, which formally begins one's education in devotional service. <div..."
  • 05:0405:04, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,113‎ N Causes and Consequences of Becoming Implicated in Material Life ‎ Created page with "This article explores the spiritual dynamics of how a living entity becomes entangled in the material world. Śrīla Prabhupāda warns that through the misuse of independence and the pursuit of temporary sense gratification, the soul binds itself to the rigid laws of nature. The text examines specific actions that accelerate this implication, such as sinful habits and ignorance, and outlines the inevitable suffering that follows, ultimately pointing toward the path of li..."
  • 04:4304:43, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,760‎ N Aim of Human Life Is to Become Immortal ‎ Created page with "The drive for self-preservation is the strongest instinct in every living being. We do not want to die. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this desire exists because we are, in fact, eternal spirit souls. However, due to illusion, we try to fulfill this desire for immortality in the wrong place—the material world. Throughout history, demons, scientists, and ''yogis'' have tried to manufacture a way to keep the material body alive forever, but they have all failed. In th..."
  • 04:3604:36, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,184‎ N The Conditioned Soul Is Sure to Become Illusioned ‎ Created page with "In the material world, we often pride ourselves on our knowledge, scientific advancement, and intellectual capacity. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda consistently points out a fundamental flaw in the human condition: we are conditioned souls, and therefore we are subject to four unchangeable defects. One of the most significant of these is the tendency to become Illusioned. Illusion means accepting something to be what it is not—like a thirsty animal mistaking a mirage for..."
  • 04:2204:22, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,901‎ N We Must All Become Ideal in Our Character ‎ Created page with "The world is full of advice but devoid of practical examples. Politicians, philosophers, and social leaders speak eloquently about peace and morality, but their private lives are often filled with the same vices they condemn. Śrīla Prabhupāda identified this hypocrisy as the root cause of social degradation. He taught that for society to be happy, there must be a class of men who are truly Ideal—men of stainless character, self-control, and wisdom. In these quotes,..."
  • 04:1304:13, 18 January 2026 diff hist +8,047‎ N Why the World Is Becoming Hellish ‎ Created page with "We often look at the chaos in modern society—crime, corruption, violence, and anxiety—and wonder how things got this bad. Śrīla Prabhupāda offers a precise, scriptural diagnosis: the world is becoming hellish because of the unchecked increase of ''varṇa-saṅkara'', or unwanted population. In Vedic culture, the stability of society depends on the purity of the population. When children are begotten out of lust rather than duty, and when they are raised without s..."
