Category:Most Valuable
Theme Analysis
Srila Prabhupada uses the term "most valuable" to reorient our value system from material to spiritual assets. He identifies the human form of life as the "most valuable boat" for crossing the ocean of nescience, and time within this life as the "most valuable asset" which must not be wasted. Among material substances, he acknowledges gold as the most valuable metal and milk as the most valuable food, but he swiftly contrasts these with the "most valuable jewel" of Krsna consciousness.
The ultimate value is found in the association of devotees and the chanting of the holy name. Srila Prabhupada calls book distribution a "most valuable service" and love for Radha-Krsna the greatest riches. He cites the example of Dhruva Maharaja, who realized that material benedictions were like broken glass compared to the most valuable jewel of the Lord's audience. Thus, the category guides the reader to invest their energy in what is truly enduring.
- The Human Opportunity: The human body is a valuable boat, and time is the most valuable asset, not to be wasted.
