The true mission in life is to cross the ocean of nescience, of repeated birth and death.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.2.30,
Srila Prabhupada.
Associating Directly With God
To chant God’s holy name means to associate directly with Him.
Satisfaction Derived From Devotional Service
It is true that by practicing restraint of the senses by the yoga system one can get relief from the disturbances of desire and lust, but this is not sufficient to give satisfaction to the soul, for this satisfaction is derived from devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 01.16.35.
Mundane Education
Mundane educational qualifications are no evidence of genuine intelligence. Rather they are a certificate of a person’s stupidity or at least misfortune in having dedicated much time and energy in amassing information that has no intrinsic value.
