"There is sufficient information in the Vedic literature how a man should be trained up, a boy should be trained up, a girl should be trained up, so that in future they may become happy. The ultimate aim of life is how to become connected with Kṛṣṇa. That is the ultimate. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. If I say to anybody that "Your ultimate goal of life is to understand Kṛṣṇa, or Viṣṇu," naturally there will be inquiries: "Who is Kṛṣṇa?" "What is Kṛṣṇa?" "What does He do?" So many questions. That question is recommended in the Vedānta-sūtra: athāto brahma jijñāsā. That is life. So the boys and girls should be trained up how to inquire about the ultimate goal of life, Kṛṣṇa, or Viṣṇu."
