However, Śrīla Prabhupāda presents a paradigm shift: true knowledge is not a product of research. It is ''nitya'', or eternal. It already exists in its perfect form. The quest for the Absolute Truth is not about inventing something new but about uncovering what has always been there. This eternal knowledge is the constitutional nature of t..."

Whatever is created here must eventually be destroyed. However, beyond this temporary manifestation lies another nature, described in the scriptures as the eternal kingdom of God. Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that this kingdom is the ultimate destination for humanity, offering a life of endless bliss and knowledge that the eternal soul naturally craves. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__</div> === The Natur..."

One may be a father, a professional, or a national of a certain country, but these designations end with the body. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that there is a duty that transcends the body and time. This is called ''sanātana-dharma'', or the eternal occupational duty. It is based on the permanent characteristic of the living entity: the propensity to serve. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__</d..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that every living entity has an eternal constitutional position, or ''svarūpa''. Unlike the temporary bodily designations of "man," "woman," "American," or "Indian," this identity is immutable. The soul is, by nature, an eternal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. Realizing and acting upon this truth is the essence of self-real..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that every living being is eternal, yet due to the desire to enjoy the material world, they are forced to accept bodies that grow old and die. The purpose of human life is to solve this dilemma by inquiring about and ultimately attaining an eternal body. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__</div> === Necessary Inquiry === A..."

Yet, despite all advancements, material life remains temporary and fraught with suffering. Śrīla Prabhupāda offers a solution to this existential dilemma by pointing to the nature of the Supreme Lord and the soul itself. The ultimate goal of human life is not to adjust material conditions but to attain a state of ''sac-cid-ānanda''—eternal life, full knowledge, and blis..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that just as a king is never alone but is always surrounded by ministers, secretaries, and family members, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is eternally accompanied by His loving devotees. These associates are not ordinary living entities subject to birth and death; they are ''nitya-siddha'', or eternally perfected sou..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that beyond this temporary cosmic manifestation lies an eternal existence known as the ''sanātana-dhāma''. This spiritual sky, or Vaikuṇṭha, is the true home of the living entity. While the material world is characterized by annihilation, the eternal abode remains untouched, full of opulence and spiritual bliss. <div class="toc-right">_..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that temples are not mere monuments or social clubs; they are educational institutions designed to train people in the science of God. Following the footsteps of previous ''ācāryas'', the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement aims to establish such sanctuaries globally, providing a practical means for the conditioned souls to engage thei..."

However, Śrīla Prabhupāda defines religion scientifically. He explains that religion is not a man-made sentiment but the direct code of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The very purpose of the Lord's descent into this material world is to reestablish these lost principles of ''dharma'' and to remove the disturbances created by irreligious elements. <div c..."

The very word ''yoga'' means "to link up." The primary purpose of the human form of life is to revive the eternal relationship between the living entity and the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Śrīla Prabhupāda, however, emphasizes the immediacy of Kṛṣṇa's mercy. He explains that the transaction between the soul and God is instantaneous: as soon as one voluntarily surrenders to Kṛṣṇa, the Lord reciprocates by offering immediate protection and freedom from material contamination. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__<..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that at the onset of the Battle of Kurukṣetra, Arjuna was bewildered by material affection for his family members. It was only when he set aside his own reasoning and surrendered to Kṛṣṇa as his spiritual master that the transcendental knowledge of..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this is not a matter of dogmatic belief but of scientific and philosophical understanding.

The establishing of a Deity is not merely a ritualistic act but a lifelong commitment to serve the Lord according to strict scriptural injunctions. <div..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda challenges the secular understanding of equality, labeling much of it as "artificial" or a "false show."

Acknowledging these differences is not discrimination but realism. Th..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda repeatedly emphasizes this axiom to counter the misconceptions of impersonalists and pseudo-incarnations who claim to be God.
