Theme Analysis
The quotes in this category explain that the perfectional point of all spiritual practices—whether through yoga, philosophical speculation, or religious morality—is pure, unalloyed Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This ultimate point is reached when one fully understands that Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, is everything and voluntarily surrenders unto Him in love and knowledge. While achieving this absolute perfection requires dedicated service, detachment, and spiritual education under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, Śrīla Prabhupāda mercifully assures us that even if one does not reach the ultimate perfectional point in a single lifetime, any advancement made in devotional service is a permanent, eternal asset.
- Surrender to Vāsudeva: After scrutinizingly studying all processes of self-realization, the ultimate perfectional point is understanding that Kṛṣṇa is everything and fully surrendering to Him in love.
- The Goal of Yoga and Religion: So-called yogis and Mayavadi philosophers who do not reach the point of voluntary surrender to the Supreme Lord miss the true perfectional point of their respective practices.
- A Permanent Asset: Unlike material endeavors that are useless if left incomplete, any progress made toward the perfectional point in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is an eternal asset that carries over to the next life.
- The Role of the Spiritual Master: An initiated devotee begins the process of becoming free from karma, and it is the primary business of the spiritual master to expertly guide the disciple to the ultimate perfectional point.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Reaching the Perfectional Point of Life.
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
