aim in life

Actually, we are not subject to death. That is affirmed in the beginning of Bhagavad-gita: na hanyate hanyamane sarire (Bg. 2.20). We are spirit soul, and therefore, we are eternal. Why then should we subject ourselves to death and birth? It is intelligent to think in this way. Those who are Krsna conscious are very intelligent because they are not interested in getting promotion to any planet where there is death, despite a long duration of life there. Rather, they want to get a body like God's. Isvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah. God's body is sac-cid-ananda. Sat means eternal, and cit means full of knowledge. Ananda means full of pleasure.    (More...)
