The mature Vedic scholar knows the Vedas are extremely broad and are able to comprehend concisely and expertly the various applications according to time place and circumstance that are contained. As for example,  Vedas contain and  include  eighteen puranas and of those ,  six are  for those persons firmly situated goodness , six for those in the somewhat endless material activities in passion, and finally there are six for those who live in darkness , intoxicated with wines and meat eating , described as the mode of  ignorance . These puranas advise and give systematic applications and lifestyle recommendations for progression in spiritual knowledge to all those groups of people. So it is concluded that the Vedic knowledge ultimately encourages everyone towards the association of those persons who know the ” param Gatim ” the ultimate and real purposes of life and its full potentials and the Vedic intelligensia set methods of a social and spiritual progression for one and all .It’s goal  is to help society understand consciousness and learn to love God in any one of His features and forms . The puranas are meant to take us beyond any material benedictions for wealth  or a thirst for knowledge for the sake of knowledge and beyond mystic powers or liberation.

The real goal is clear , a  pure loving relationship and  friendship and service to Divinity , Lord Krishna , nothing else will ultimately satisfy the soul . Every one of us is  deep down  hankering and searching  for happiness, and we want to avoid suffering.  So , either knowingly or unknowingly, Divinity is sought after, and those who know this truth are to be contacted.
