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 connect everything one does in devotion in Krishna consciousness thus moving irresistibly to the esoteric core of Gaudia Vaisnavism. As Ramananda Roy pointed out during his conversations with Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Gradually, 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 Srimati Radharani Krishna and Their associates  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 in pure ways gradually takes one to the shore of this ocean , via the instructions of the self realised souls and the param para acaryas. With time, devotion, and practice, one can learn to enter within its waters , there are 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 . Its in our best interests to find an atmosphere where we can find permanency , where the spiritual consciousness is made up of the same spiritual superior energy.  It’s a  natural and the  originally intended state of our spiritual consciousness to experience sat cit ananda in a spiritual form .

Full spiritual knowledge of these  unlimited  spiritual relationships within an  eternally situated spiritual plane where ever new spiritual mellows of loving exchanges with Krishna and His associates take place is our rightful place .
