Śrīla Prabhupāda often cites the ''sūtra'' from the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' (1.13.47), ''jīvo jīvasya jīvanam'', which states that one living entity is the food for another. While this principle describes the mechanical reality of biological life, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the human form of life is specifically meant for transcending thi..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that while everything emanates from Kṛṣṇa, not everything is equal to Kṛṣṇa. The fundamental distinction lies between ''viṣṇu-tattva''—the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His personal expansions—and ''jīva-tattva''—the minute, individual living entities. Confusion between these two categories leads to the..."
• 07:2507:25, 26 January 2026 diff hist +9,196‎ N Understanding the Jiva Soul and the Supersoul ‎ Created page with "According to Śrīla Prabhupāda and the Vedic literatures, there is a distinct difference between the individual soul (''jīva'') and the Supreme Soul (Paramātmā). The Māyāvādī philosophers often confuse the two, claiming they are identical, but Kṛṣṇa clearly distinguishes them in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. The ''jīva'' is the minute, atomic spark of life struggling within the material body, while the Supersoul is the infinite, all-pervading witness who direc..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that without this enlightenment, human society is no better than a polished civilization of animals—"dogs, hogs, camels, and asses." True enlightenment is not a mental concoction or a flash of voidism; it is the scientific understanding of one's identity as a servant of God. It is the transition from the darkness of material ignorance, where one identifies with the body,..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the spiritual master is not a fashion or a pet to be kept for social prestige; he is the transparent via medium to Lord Kṛṣṇa. The disciple's only duty is to hear the orders of the spiritual master and execute them with life and soul. In these instructions, Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that spiritual advancement is not..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda describes Nārada not merely as a wandering sage, but as a "transcendental spaceman" who can travel anywhere in the creation to glorify the Lord. In his teachings, Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that Nārada is a ''mahājana'', a great authority whose confirmation is required to understand the Absolute Truth. Whether witnessing the..."

Among the many creatures of the forest, the monkeys hold a special place as Kṛṣṇa's playmates and beneficiaries. Śrīla Prabhupāda vividly describes the "mischief-making" of the Lord, who would steal butter suspended from the ceilings and distribute it freely to the waiting monkeys. These interactions reveal the Lord's equal affection for all His parts an..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that one cannot enter into the mysteries of the Absolute Truth with a challenging spirit. The Sanskrit word ''praṇipātena'' indicates that one must bow down—physically and intellectually—before the superior authority. By forgetting the false prestige of "I am something" and adopting the mood of a beggar for mercy, the sincere soul attracts the attent..."
