Category:No Information of the Spiritual World
Theme Analysis
A pervasive defect in contemporary society is the total absence of knowledge regarding the spiritual nature. Śrīla Prabhupāda points out that modern education has no information of the spiritual world. Consequently, people identify with their bodies and remain entangled in the temporary material atmosphere. This ignorance extends to major philosophical schools; Buddhists seek to negate the material world without knowing the spiritual, and Māyāvādīs aim for a "zero" or void existence, fearing the varieties that cause suffering in the material world. However, the śāstras reveal that the spiritual world is not void—it is an eternal, peaceful realm full of variety and the internal potency of Kṛṣṇa.
- The Defect of Education: Modern institutions teach material comfort but ignore spiritual identity and God, leaving people with only a vague idea of the Absolute Truth.
- Philosophical Blindness: Both Buddhist (voidist) and Māyāvādī (impersonalist) philosophies are described as "zero philosophy." They want to finish material existence but have no information of the life that exists beyond it.
- The Result of Ignorance: Without knowledge of the spiritual world, one clings to the false ego ("I am this body") and wastes life serving the body for fame or material reward.
- The Reality: The spiritual world is the manifestation of Kṛṣṇa's internal potency. It is eternal (sanātana), peaceful (śānti), and far vaster than the material sky.
