Theme Analysis
These collected quotes reveal that the true aim of human life is not material happiness, political power, sense gratification, prestige, or external religiosity, but spiritual realization through devotional service. In these teachings, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that all systems of yoga, religion, social organization, austerity, and knowledge are meant to bring the living being to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and restored relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The real benefit of life is achieved when selfish satisfaction is given up and the living entity learns to satisfy the Supreme Lord.
