Category:We Can Change
Theme Analysis
The quotes in this category explore the profound dynamics of what we can and cannot change in human life. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that while our eternal occupational duty (dharma) as servants of God is unalterable, our temporary faith, material qualities, and even the deep-rooted results of our past karma can be completely transformed through Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By purifying our senses and practicing devotional service, we can change our homes into Vaikuṇṭha and alleviate the poverty and restlessness of the entire world. However, one must never attempt to change the absolute words of the Supreme Lord as spoken in scriptures like the Bhagavad-gītā.
- The Difference Between Faith and Dharma: Temporary religion or faith can be changed at whim, but our eternal characteristic as servants of God cannot be altered.
- Changing Our Karma and Qualities: Through perfect knowledge and practice, we can overcome demonic characteristics and change the results of our past activities.
- Transforming the World: By injecting Kṛṣṇa consciousness into society, we can change the global situation from calamity to peace, and transform our homes into the spiritual world.
- Respecting the Absolute Truth: We must never arrogantly attempt to change the meaning of the Bhagavad-gītā, as the Lord's words are perfect and absolute.
