Category:We Want To (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
In guiding the global mission of his society, Śrīla Prabhupāda establishes that the ultimate desire of his followers is to see everyone become genuinely happy through spiritual realization. This movement is not driven by the ambition for personal liberation, nor does it seek to exploit or artificially lord over material resources. Rather, the disciples want to purely execute the orders of the Supreme Lord by distributing transcendental knowledge, creating ideal spiritual communities, and practically demonstrating the sublime benefits of devotion. By shifting the focus from bodily identification and selfish motivation to selfless service, the followers aim to rectify the fundamental misconceptions of materialistic life and offer the highest perfection to human society.
- Universal Happiness and Welfare: The primary motivation is a sincere desire for everyone to experience the true happiness of spiritual life, rising above sectarian religious distinctions and material distress.
- Spreading Transcendental Knowledge: Followers want to flood the world with authorized Vedic literature to counteract the widespread ignorance and speculative philosophies that mislead humanity.
- Establishing Ideal Communities: Disciples endeavor to create practical models of spiritual living, such as self-sufficient farm projects and educational institutions like gurukula, to show a perfect alternative to modern chaos.
- Selfless Service Over Personal Liberation: Following the example of great devotees, the ultimate goal is not to merge into the void or achieve personal salvation, but to remain engaged eternally as active servants of Kṛṣṇa and the Vaiṣṇavas.
- Rectifying Material Misconceptions: The movement works diligently to defeat the bodily concept of life—the false identification with race, nation, or gender—and to elevate people to the platform of pure goodness and spiritual identity.
