Sublime teachings and words of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Page 11 of 40

Action must be offered as a sacrifice to the Supreme Being, lest it chain its doer to the material world. Therefore, fulfill your duty to please Him, and you will forever be freed from the shackles of matter.

The impersonalists (those who believe that God is solely a formless Supreme Spiritual Being, like most humans on earth) believe Me to be formless, and claim that I borrowed My present Form, the one I manifest today, solely to serve some purpose. But such speculators are in fact devoid of true intelligence. However much they may be erudite in the Vedic texts, they are ignorant of My inconceivable energies and the eternal forms of My Person. The reason is that I reserve the right not to reveal Myself to unbelievers, thanks to My inner power, which veils Me from their eyes. Therefore, fools and senseless people do not know my eternal, unborn, and imperishable form.

Whoever knows me to be unborn, without beginning, the Ruler of all worlds, he, without illusion among men, becomes free from all sin.

Only spiritual realization brings pleasure to Lord Krishna.

Family life and the love between husband and wife hold little interest for me. By nature, I have no taste for a wife, children, home, or family opulence. Like my devotees, I attach little importance to these worldly possessions. Truly, I am only interested in spiritual realization, for it alone brings me pleasure.

Lord Krishna condemns the killing of animals and all those who consume their flesh. A reflection on a guilty person.

You must have committed the offense of killing animals while hunting or in the course of your politics. To regain your purity, simply devote yourself to the practice of devotional service and keep your mind constantly absorbed in Me. The time is near when you will be eternally free from the consequences of these sordid acts.

The reasons for the soul's imprisonment in matter.

If the soul finds itself thus imprisoned, it is because it harbors a mistaken conception of its identity and considers itself the supreme beneficiary. It is this false ego (forgetting to be a spiritual soul and wrongly identifying with one's body, dominating material nature) in the living being that forces it to experience incarceration within material existence.

As the Supreme and Absolute Truth, I personally stand beyond the living being, as well as its material envelope. Both energies, material and spiritual, act under my sovereign authority.

It was Lord Krishna who created the four social classes or divisions.

I created the four divisions of society based on the three gunas (the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature: virtue, passion, and ignorance), and the duties they impose on man.
