Theme Analysis
To become a saint is the ultimate goal of human civilization, yet it is often viewed as a difficult or distant attainment. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that saintliness is actually the immediate byproduct of surrendering to the Supreme Lord. By associating with the Divine Will through the chanting of the holy name, even the most degraded individuals are transformed into pure devotees. This process relies heavily on saṅga (association) and the presence of saintly leadership (rājarṣis), which naturally inspires the citizens to adopt a holy life.
- The Speed of Surrender: One can become a saintly person within a second simply by eagerly surrendering to Kṛṣṇa; the attack of material nature is vanquished at once.
- The Power of Association: Just as one becomes a drunkard by associating with drunkards, one becomes a saint by keeping saintly association.
- Social Transformation: When the head of state is trained to be a rājarṣi, the entire population becomes saintly, ensuring both spiritual and physical satisfaction for the citizens.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Surrender to the Divine Will - The Path of Becoming Saintly.
