Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that Dakṣa, the chief of the ''Prajāpatis'', became the "embodiment of envy" due to his excessive pride. His target was Lord Śiva, the most exalted devotee of the Lord. This envy blinded Dakṣa to such an extent that he publicly blasphemed Śiva, who is actually the friend and well-wish..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda identifies this specific envy as the root cause of our separation from the spiritual world. In the spiritual sky, everyone serves Kṛṣṇa, accepting Him as the central enjoyer. In the material world, however, the conditioned soul wants to imitate Kṛṣṇa, desiring to be the center of attention and enjoyment. This deep-seated envy blinds the living entity to the trut..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the root cause of our separation from the spiritual world is envy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This envy drives the living entity to reject God's authority and attempt to become the lord of nature. Whether manifested as atheism, impersonalism, or open hostility, this "disease" of envy binds the soul to the cycle of birth and death. This article examines the origin..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda uses the Sanskrit term ''sura-dviṣām'' to describe those who are envious of the godly. Unlike ordinary jealousy, this spiritual envy provokes the direct antagonism of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whether in ancient history or modern society, the mentality of the ''sura-dviṣām'' remains the sa..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the root cause of the demoniac nature is envy of Kṛṣṇa. This envy drives them to blaspheme the Lord, harm His devotees, and propagate disastrous activities. Because of this deep-seated enmity, the Lord imparts a heavy punishment: they are perpetually cast into the ocean of material suffering, bloc..."

The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement serves as a scientific and educational protest to this condition, aiming to enlighten all people. By transitioning from the illusory happiness of ''māyā'' to the factual enlightenment of devotional service, the living entity is released f..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that this enlightenment is a gift from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who resides in the heart of the sincere seeker. Unlike the philosopher who relies on limited mental power, the devotee receives "perfect knowledge" directly from the source of all wisdom. This article examines the definition of spiritual enlightenment, the historical e..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the tongue has two primary "businesses": to vibrate and to taste. In the material condition, these functions are used for mundane talk and sense gratification, leading to further entanglement. However, by redirecting these activities toward Kṛṣṇa, the tongue becomes the gateway to liberation. This article examines..."

To "engage people" is not merely to provide them with mundane labor, but to connect their natural talents and activities with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whether through the systematic structure of ''daiva-varṇāśrama'' or the universal process..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the real utility of speech is found when it is engaged in the service of the Lord. When our words are used to glorify Kṛṣṇa, they acquire a transcendental "flavor" that is otherwise absent in even the most sophisticated material discourse. This article explores the definition of a..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that our current material senses are "blunt" and incapable of perceiving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. However, there is a specific methodology—''sevonmukhe hi jihvādau''—whereby the Lord reveals Himself through the tongue. By engaging this "gr..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the "material disease" is essentially the misuse of the senses for personal gratification. The cure is the process of ''bhakti'', which redirects these senses to their original proprietor—Hṛṣīkeśa, the Master of the senses. Among all the senses, the tongue occupies a unique and pivotal role;..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the only successful way to manage this struggle is through the art of sensory redirection. By engaging our senses in the service of the proprietor of the senses—Hṛṣīkeśa—we achieve a state of "locked up" protection where material contamination cannot en..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the purpose of ''bhakti'' is to purify the instrument by engaging the senses in their original, constitutional function. This is not a process of negation, but of dovetailing our independence and sensory energy with the desires of the Supreme. When we move from the stage of ''hṛṣīka-sevanam''..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the solution to this struggle is not the cessation of activity, but the purification of it. This is the essence of ''yukta-vairāgya''—using everything, including our physical senses, in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When the senses are engaged in their original, constitut..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the process of ''Kṛṣṇa-bhāvanāmṛta'', or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is the scientific method designed to harness this mental energy. By directing the mind toward the original, beautiful form of Kṛṣṇa, the practitioner bypasses the risks of mental concoction and material agitation. This article examin..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the highest form of ''yoga'' is not a physical exercise but the constant engagement of the mind in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When the mind is allowed to roam among material sense objects, it becomes our greatest enemy; however, when it is anchored at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, it becomes our greatest ally and the cause of ou..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the mind is the leader of the senses and the primary factor in determining our future existence. While materialists are often victims of their own mental concoctions, a devotee utilizes the mind as a sacred altar for the service of the Lord. This process of mental engagement is so powerful that it can bring about factual r..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that when the body, mind, and words are dovetailed with the desires of Kṛṣṇa, the living entity transcends the laws of material nature. This process of engagement is the defining test of a devotee and the most intelligent use of the human form of life. By shifting our activities from sense enjoyment to the..."
