Theme Analysis

The "real mission" of human life, as defined by Srila Prabhupada, is to break free from the cycle of birth and death and return back to home, back to Godhead. In this category, the distinction is drawn between the animalistic propensities of working hard for sense gratification—compared to the toil of an ass—and the enlightened path of reviving one's eternal relationship with Krsna. For the followers of the Krsna consciousness movement, this mission translates into practical action: doubling book distribution and preaching the message of Bhagavad-gita to save humanity. Srila Prabhupada warns against distractions such as excessive business or false religious pretenses, urging society's leaders to guide the population toward this ultimate spiritual goal.

  • Back to Godhead: The primary objective of human existence is to get out of the clutches of maya and return to the spiritual world, Vaikunthaloka.
  • Preaching as Mission: For the devotee, the real mission involves doubling book distribution and strictly following the order to "speak the words given by Krsna."
  • Duty of Leaders: The priestly class (brahmanas) and leaders have a solemn duty to keep citizens enlightened about the spiritual purpose of life rather than misleading them into sense gratification.
  • Avoid Distractions: Activities like excessive business or political rivalry distract from the real mission; if one focuses on spreading Krsna's glories, all necessities are naturally provided.
