Surrender yourself completely to Me. By My grace, you will experience absolute peace and attain My eternal and supreme abode.
Only through devotional service, and only thus, can one know Me as I am. And the being who, through such devotion, becomes fully aware of Me, can then enter My absolute kingdom.
Only by serving Me with undivided love and devotion can one know Me as I am, standing before you, and likewise, in truth, see Me. Thus, and only thus, can one penetrate the mystery of My Person.
For one who worships Me, abandons all his actions to Me, and devotes himself to Me undividedly, absorbed in devotional service and constantly meditating on Me—for such a one I am the liberator, who will soon rescue him from the ocean of death and rebirth.
Many people wonder if doing good and loving one's neighbor is enough to enter the spiritual world.
The spiritual world has no beginning and will never end. It is all knowledge, bliss, and eternity. There is no suffering or anxiety there.
In contrast, the material universe has a beginning and will have an end. It is a world of continual suffering. This is why God asks us to obey Him, to apply His precepts and commandments, in order to return to His eternal kingdom, where we lived at the beginning of all things.
The purpose of existence is to know Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality, as He truly is, to reconnect with Him, to learn to obey Him, to align our desires and interests with His, to surrender to Him, to serve Him with love and devotion, and to put an end to the cycle of repeated reincarnations, in order to return definitively to Him, in His infinite, absolute, and eternal kingdom.
In truth, good and evil do not exist, for they are projections of the mind. In the material universe in which man evolves, these two dualities, good and evil, are placed on the same plane and merge, because each being starts from an erroneous personal concept, puts them into action, or defines them according to their own sensibilities, their notion of reality, and the values that inspire them.
For example, a criminal finds it normal to commit a crime, without worrying about what people will say, the opinion of others, or even the righteous, and disregards the reaction of the various people who are victims of his sinful acts. For this dishonest being, his action is just and good. He harms someone, but cares nothing. This is true for all human beings, who are ignorant of the true notion of good and evil; they continually confuse them.
In reality, the notions of good and evil are defined in relation to Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality, for the Sovereign Lord is the Absolute Existence, the Absolute Abode, the Absolute Truth, the Absolute Life, and as such we must understand that since the entire cosmic universe dwells in Him, as do all spirit souls, He is the sole beneficiary of all the fruits of the actions performed by all beings. By virtue of His supreme, infinite, and absolute position, Lord Krishna is in fact the owner of all that exists, and the sole beneficiary of all the fruits of all the works of souls residing both in the spiritual world and those incarnated in the material universe.
Because of this truth, it is easy to understand that the true notion of good and evil is defined in relation to Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for He is the pure essence and the only reality.
The Supreme Lord proves this with these words: There is truly nothing that exists except Me; this is what you must clearly understand.
