Self Realisation is the key to understand the purpose of Life. By understanding self, will lead to the solutions of our very existence on this earth
The
transcendental vibration established by the chanting of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the
sublime method of reviving our Krishna consciousness. As living spiritual soul’s,
we are all originally Krishna conscious entities, but due to our association
with matter from time immemorial, our consciousness is now polluted by the
material atmosphere. The material atmosphere, in which we are now living, is
called Maya, or illusion. Maya means "that which is not." And what is
this illusion? The illusion is that we are all trying to be lords of material
nature, while actually we are under the grip of her stringent laws. When a servant
artificially tries to imitate the all-powerful master, this is called illusion.
In this polluted concept of life, we are all trying to exploit the resources of
material nature, but actually we are becoming more and more entangled in her
complexities. Therefore, although we are engaged in a hard struggle to conquer
nature, we are ever more dependent on her. This illusory struggle against
material nature can be stopped at once by the revival of our Krishna
consciousness. Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition of the
mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity. When we
hear the transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived. And this is
the process recommended for this age by authorities. By practical experience
also, one can perceive that by chanting this maha-mantra or the Great Chanting
for Deliverance, one can at once feel a transcendental ecstasy coming through
from the spiritual stratum. And when one is factually on the plane of spiritual
understanding-surpassing the stages of the senses, mind, and intelligence-one
is situated on the transcendental plane.
So in
this age it is recommended that other Yajnas will not be effective, neither it
is recommended. But chanting the maha mantra or namasakeerthan—that is
recommended. Everyone can join it, and he can become purified, he can become
situated on spiritual platform, and his life becomes successful.
The
path of religion is actually meant for self-realization, and economic
development is required just to maintain the body in a sound, healthy
condition. A man should lead a healthy life with a sound mind just to realize this true knowledge, which is the aim of human life.
