True Mission in Life
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.
Affection
Unfortunately we do not research our heart for how much affection we have for a person, till he disappears.
Being Intelligent
Even in the womb of the mother you will suffer. To remain in that compact bag for so many months, hands and legs all tied up, unable to move this is suffering. So we should be intelligent enough to ask, “Why am I suffering? and how can I stop this suffering?”
Greatness of Chanting
What cannot be achieved through the performance of Vedic rituals can be easily achieved through the chanting of the Lord’s holy name.
Srimad Bhagavatam 6.2.11
Time for Starting Krishna Consciousness

The ultimate goal of life is to reach God.
