Śrimad Bhagavatam 1.2.9
dharmasya hy āpavargyasya
nārtho ’rthāyopakalpate
nārthasya dharmaikāntasya
kāmo lābhāya hi smṛtaḥ
Translation
All occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.
The whole process of Krishna consciousness entails bringing the peripherals of the Vedic instructions within one’s practical life and in therapeutic ways to the esoteric core , wherein one can realise the trancendental planes of the spiritual kingdoms. Krishna is known as Rasaraja, and He is adored and loved naturally by the pure hearted residents of Vrndavana. The karmic worlds of self-centred impurities centred around lust , greed, and envy have no place there . Rather, a spontaneous attraction for the quality of others is felt in ever new ways and increasingly so . The trancendental form of Krishna and Radharani have no limits to Their personalities, and Their followers are swept up in the tumultuous ocean of trancendental bliss with waves that are forever rising and falling in feelings of Union and separation.
The process of chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra purely takes one to the shore of this ocean , and with time and practice, one can learn to enter within its waters , there is no limits to the depths of its waters .
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has explained all as have all the param para acaryas.
Vedic life means concentration on the Param Gatim, the permanently situated and the supreme perfection of a conscious state .
Lives , families, communities, nations, and empires come and go and ultimately the universe as well . The permanency of the consciousness is stated in the Bhagavad Gita, and Krishna stresses understanding this absolute knowledge and how its vitally important and as well in our best interests to find an atmosphere where it can find permanency, where the same consciousness superior energies make up the environments it is situated within. Its the natural state of the consciousness to experience sat cit ananda .
Full spiritual knowledge of relationships, eternally increasing in the ever new spiritual mellows of loving exchanges with Krishna and His associates.
