God's proposal is, by far, the most beautiful. It begins with love for God, continues with strengthening the bond of love that unites us to Him through the devotional service we offer Him, and ends in the kingdom of God where the Lord offers us absolute knowledge, permanent, uninterrupted, and perfect bliss or beatitude, and eternal life.

Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, tells us: Surrender yourself to Me, and I will give you the intelligence through which you can come to Me.

Only through devotional service, and thus alone, 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.

Putting the Lord into our minds, being imbued with God-consciousness, reasoning and acting as a spiritual entity, placing oneself under the authority of the Supreme Lord, and loving one another—this is what will bring peace and harmony on earth.

What are good and bad qualities?

The Lord answers us.

The Lord says: Absorbing one's intelligence in Me constitutes mental equilibrium, and complete discipline of the senses is self-control.

Tolerance means patiently enduring misfortune, and steadfastness comes when one conquers the tongue and genitals.

The greatest charity is to renounce all aggression toward others, and the renunciation of lust is considered true austerity.

True heroism is to overcome one's natural tendency to enjoy material life, and reality is to see the Supreme Personality everywhere.

Truthfulness means speaking the truth in a pleasing manner, as declared by the great sages.

Cleanliness (purity) is detachment in fruitful activities, while renunciation is the hermit's order of life. The true wealth desirable for human beings is religiosity, and I, the Supreme Person, am a sacrifice.

Religious remuneration is devotion to the perfect spiritual master, for the purpose of acquiring spiritual instruction, and the greatest strength is the breath-control system.

Real wealth is My own nature as a Divine Person, through which I expound the six unlimited opulences.

The supreme gain in life is devotional service to Me, and true education nullifies the false perception of the duality of the soul.

True modesty is being disgusted with inappropriate activities, and beauty is possessing good qualities, such as detachment.
