What is the ultimate benefit, the highest perfection?

In truth, the ultimate benefit and the highest perfection is love for God.

Unless one is freed from the influence of material energy, it is impossible to know the Supreme Lord, Krishna, and His various energies.

Because we are enchanted by material energy in this world, we cannot perceive the spiritual form of the Lord.

Therefore, unless one realizes the transcendental form of the Supreme Person, there can be no question of love for God. Without this realization, loving Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is mere fiction, and human life cannot attain perfection.

In reality, this realization is expressed as follows: Just as the five gross elements of nature—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—exist both inside and outside all living beings in this world, the Supreme Lord, Krishna, simultaneously exists in and outside of everything that exists. This is how His devotees can realize Him.

The pure devotees of Krishna know well that they must serve God, the Supreme Person, and that everything that exists can be used in the service of God. Blessed by the Supreme Being residing in their hearts, the devotee can see Him everywhere their gaze falls. In truth, they see nothing else.

If a person's heart is always attached to the lotus feet (words of respect towards Krishna) of the Supreme Lord through the bonds of love for God, the Lord never leaves them.

Indeed, even if their remembrance remains imperfect, we must consider them the highest in terms of devotion.
