Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 08/08/2011 - 10/08/2011

SB 1.2.10

kamasya nendriya-pritir
labho jiveta yavata
jivasya tattva-jijñasa
nartho yas ceha karmabhih

 

Life's desires should never be directed toward sense gratification. One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing else should be the goal of one's works.

Suta Gosvami

 

SB 1.2.11

vadanti tat tattva-vidas
tattvam yaj jñanam advayam
brahmeti paramatmeti
bhagavan iti sabdyate

 

Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramatma or Bhagavan.
