- A conditioned soul and a liberated soul may apparently be on the same platform, but factually they are differently engaged, and their attention is always alert, either in sense enjoyment or in self-realization, respectively
- As long as one identifies with this body, he is considered a conditioned soul, but as soon as he is elevated to the stage of equanimity through realization of self, he is liberated from conditional life. BG 1972 purports
- As stated in BG, although the conditioned soul is the son of the wealthiest personality - the Personality of Godhead - he does not realize it. Therefore Vedic literatures are given to him to help him search out his father and his paternal property
I
- If one takes shelter of the sound representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (omkara), he can realize his constitutional identity and engage in devotional service even though in conditioned life
- In the material stage even a brahmana is also a conditioned soul because although in the brahminical stage the conception of Brahman or transcendence is realized, scientific knowledge of the Supreme Lord is lacking
- In this age of logic, argument and disagreement, the chanting of Hare Krsna is the only means for self-realization. Because this transcendental vibration alone can deliver the conditioned soul, it is considered to be the essence of the Vedanta-sutra
- Indeed, he (the conditioned soul) commits abominable acts that cause him to suffer both in this life and in the next. Consequently illicit sex must be stopped by those who are spiritually inclined or who are on the path of spiritual realization
L
- Like Vidura, an inquisitive conditioned soul must approach a bona fide spiritual master like Maitreya and by intelligent inquiries must try to know everything about 2) yoga - the linking process of spiritual realization
- Lord Caitanya has given instructions by explaining that when a conditioned soul is accepted by the mercy of the spiritual master & is guided by the Supersoul & the various Vedic scriptures, he becomes enlightened & makes progress in spiritual realization
M
- Material resources are offered to the living entity for his peaceful living & for the discharge of the duties of self-realization in conditioned life. But due to false identification, the conditioned soul becomes entrapped by the sense of false ownership
- My dear King, as long as conditioned soul does not conquer his six enemies and come to the platform of self-realization by awakening his spiritual knowledge, he has to wander among different places and different species of life in this material world
S
- Self-realization is perfected in devotional service. In that devotional service, the liberation of the conditioned soul is guaranteed. BG 1972 purports
- Such authorities (like the four Kumaras and Narada) can by nature understand the position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but a conditioned soul not freed from the influence of material nature is unable to realize the Supreme
T
- The conditioned souls under material bondage are prisoners of matter, and therefore self-realization is the ultimate aim of life
- The conditioned souls, who do not have self-realization, accept the material body as the dearmost. The idea of the dearmost is then spread all over the body, both concentrated and extended
- The Lord informs Arjuna that the conditioned soul can be divided into two classes as far as man's search for self-realization is concerned. BG 1972 purports
- The message should be heard attentively, and if spoken by a realized soul, it will act on the dormant heart of the conditioned soul. And by continuously hearing, one can attain the perfect stage of self-realization
- The mode of goodness, or the brahminical culture recommended in the Vedic literatures, is helpful to spiritual realization, the jnana-sakti stage of the conditioned soul is comparatively better than the other two stages, namely dravya-sakti & kriya-sakti
- The person I have described as unknown is the SPG, the master and eternal friend of the living entity. Since the living entities cannot realize the SPG by material names, activities or qualities, He remains everlastingly unknown to the conditioned soul
- The temporary creation is exhibited and destroyed just to give information to the conditioned soul who is attached to temporary things. It is also meant to give him a chance for self-realization, and not for sense gratification
- The whole system of the material creation is planned so that the conditioned souls may have the opportunity for self-realization
- There are different processes for self-realization, but this process of devotional service - of which hearing is the most important function - when adopted by any conditioned soul, will automatically cleanse him of the material contamination
