The ultimate achievement in human life goes far beyond accumulating material opulence or acquiring temporary mystic powers. The teachings of Śrīla Prabhupāda consistently emphasize that true success lies exclusively in pure devotional service to the Supreme Lord. Attaining the highest realms of planetary existence or achieving liberation through impersonal realization are seen as incomplete stages of self-discovery. The true awakening occurs when the soul understands its eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead and actively works to please Him.
