Theme Analysis

Śrīla Prabhupāda contrasts the materialistic desire to create with the pure, spiritual desire of the devotees. Material scientists foolishly want to create life by a combination of chemicals, rejecting the Supreme Lord as the source of all existence. Similarly, atheists want to create their own laws, and materialistic society wants to create artificial comforts, which only lead to further discomforts. On the other hand, the Supreme Lord and His empowered agents, like Lord Brahma, create the cosmic manifestation to give conditioned souls a chance for liberation. Following this divine principle, the Krsna consciousness movement wants to create ideal men, pure devotees, and a transcendental atmosphere to successfully guide human society back to Godhead.

  • The Illusion of Chemical Life: Material scientists reject the spiritual nature of life, falsely believing they can create life through chemical combinations while regarding material elements as supreme.
  • Artificial Comforts and Laws: Attempting to create artificial comforts beyond what God and nature provide naturally results in equal or greater discomforts. Likewise, atheists try to create their own laws to avoid surrendering to the Supreme.
  • Creating Ideal Men: Society currently lacks intelligent guidance. Therefore, the spiritual movement aims to create pure devotees and ideal brahmanas to lead humanity by perfect example.
  • A Spiritual Atmosphere: By establishing farm communities and publishing authorized literature like Back to Godhead, devotees want to create a practical atmosphere where loving Krsna is the primary engagement.
  • The Purpose of Cosmic Creation: The Lord and His deputies create the material universe not for permanent settlement, but to give dormant conditioned souls another opportunity to revive their spiritual knowledge.
