Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the perfectional point of all spiritual practices—whether religion, yoga, or philosophy—is achieved when one fully understands that Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) is everything and completely surrenders to Him. This ultimate state of consciousness is characterized by pure, spontaneous love and a total loss of interest in material enjoyment. Even if one does not reach this ultimate destination in a single lifetime, the progress made in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is a permanent asset that carries forward.
- The Ultimate Realization: The perfectional point of self-realization is the understanding that Kṛṣṇa is the cause of all causes, leading one to voluntarily surrender in full knowledge.
- The Role of the Spiritual Master: Initiation is merely the beginning of the spiritual journey. It is the duty of the guru to guide the disciple through service (mahat-seva) until they reach the perfectional point.
- Awakening Pure Love: The true perfectional point is marked by the awakening of the soul's dormant loving propensity for God, sometimes manifesting as ecstatic symptoms like shedding tears while chanting the holy names.
- Permanent Assets in Spiritual Life: Unlike material achievements, any advancement made in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is eternal. If a devotee falls short of the perfectional point, they begin from that exact spot in their next life.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Reaching the Perfectional Point of Surrender.
Pages in category "Perfectional Point"
The following 17 pages are in this category, out of 17 total.
A
- After scrutinizingly studying all the process of self-realization or transcendental realization, when one comes to the perfectional point, he understands that vasudevah sarvam iti: (BG 7.19) Vasudeva, Krsna, is everything
- Although the Mayavadi philosophers appear to be very much advanced in knowledge, they are not yet perfect. To come to the point of perfection they must voluntarily surrender to Krsna
- An initiated devotee is given the chance for becoming free from the entanglement of karma wheel. Initiated means beginning, not perfection. The Spiritual Master's business is to guide him to the perfectional point
I
- If you can execute cent percent, then the whole life is perfect. But even if you do not come to the perfectional point, whatever you have done, that is your permanent asset. Next life you begin from that point
- If you want to approach to the perfectional point of purificatory birth, then you associate with mahat-seva. Seva means service. Service. Our whole process is service
S
- So if we go on working in non-attachment and culture our self-realization, then gradually we shall come to the perfectional point
- So this verse suggests that if a person is chanting Hare Krsna mantra, but his eyes are not tearful or there is no ecstatic shivering of the body, then that means he's not coming to the perfectional point
W
- What type of surrender is recommended? Surrender in full knowledge - when one comes to the perfectional point he must understand that Vasudeva, Krsna, is everything. This is also confirmed in Brahma-samhita - 5.1
- When one is perfectly prepared to accept spiritual enjoyment, and completely understands the uselessness of material enjoyment, that is the perfectional point of view
