750629 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Denver
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "To work so hard for eating, sleeping, mating, mating, sex life, and defending, this is being done by the cats, dogs, and hogs also. Human life is meant for extra endeavor which the hogs and dogs cannot do. That is required. What is that? Tapasya, tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena sattvaṁ śuddhyed satya (SB 5.5.1).
Human life is meant for getting release from a kind of disease which is birth, death, old age, and disease. This is the business of human life. Jīvasya tattva-jijñāsā (SB 1.2.10). We are hearing from the supreme authority, Kṛṣṇa, and we, if we meditate, if we think soberly we can understand that every one of us is eternal. Then why I am dying? This should be the question. Athāto brahma jijñāsā." |
