Category:Our Motto (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
To ensure his followers remained perfectly aligned with the absolute truth, Śrīla Prabhupāda established clear, guiding principles that served as the foundational mottos for the spiritual society. By frequently repeating these philosophical and practical slogans, he protected his disciples from material illusion and kept their consciousness fixed on the ultimate goal of human life. These mottos address everything from the foundational purpose of transcendental literature to the practical daily habits required for steady advancement in devotional service.
- The Light of Godhead: The foundational philosophical motto of the movement is that Godhead is light and nescience is darkness; by constantly associating with the Supreme Lord through His holy name and literature, the fog of material illusion is instantly dissipated.
- The Urgency of Liberation: A sincere practitioner adopts the motto of finishing their material business in this very lifetime, refusing to accept further cycles of birth and death when the opportunity to return to the spiritual world is readily available.
- Simple Living and High Thinking: The practical application of yukta-vairāgya serves as a core motto, teaching devotees to accept only the bare necessities for maintaining the body while dedicating all saved time and energy toward spiritual elevation.
- Absolute Rejection of Māyā: A genuine student must adopt the rigorous motto of immediately giving up whatever is unfavorable to spiritual life, strictly avoiding illicit sex and refusing to give the illusory energy any chance to enter their activities.
- Steadiness and Shelter: Emphasizing quality over quantity, the motto of "slow but sure" guides practitioners to steadily cleanse their minds through chanting, while ultimately taking shelter of the internal spiritual energy to easily approach the Supreme Lord.
