Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this mission is not a sectarian or factional endeavor but a global movement meant to spread the importance of human life and solve the fundamental problems of the world. By accepting the order of the spiritual master and the Lord, a disciple becomes a vital instrument in "injecting" Kṛṣṇa consciousness into the "dead body" of material nature, thereby performing the highest good for both themselves and others.

  • The Special Responsibility of India: Those born in the land of India (Bhārata-varṣa) have a unique duty to first make their own lives successful by following Vedic principles and then work for the benefit of all humanity.
