Theme Analysis

Śrīla Prabhupāda identifies the highest yogī as one who constantly abides in Kṛṣṇa. Citing the Bhagavad-gītā, he explains that true yoga is not merely physical gymnastics but a state of intimate union through transcendental loving service. This abiding is active, not passive; it defines true morality. As seen in the example of Arjuna, a dharmī (religious person) is one who sets aside personal sentiment to abide by the order of Kṛṣṇa. Success in life is achieved when one shifts from abiding by the dictation of the senses to abiding by the instructions of Kṛṣṇa or His representative.

• The Verdict of Bhagavad-gītā: The highest yogī is not one who performs magic or gymnastics, but one who abides in Kṛṣṇa with great faith and worships Him in loving service.
• Definition of Morality: Mundane morality is relative, but spiritual morality is absolute: it simply means to abide by the orders of Kṛṣṇa.
• The Example of Arjuna: Although Arjuna thought fighting was adharma, he became a strict follower of dharma by abiding by Kṛṣṇa's order to fight.
• Changing Masters: The conditioned soul is accustomed to abiding by the dictation of the senses. Perfection comes when one learns to abide by the dictation of Kṛṣṇa.
• The Universal Platform: Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the one religion that can bring everyone together, provided they agree to abide by the order of the Supreme Lord.
