In truth, human life consists of:

Renewing the bond of love that unites us with God and acting accordingly.

Attaining spiritual realization and attaining Krishna consciousness, also called God consciousness.

Learning to surrender to Him and serve Him with love and devotion.

Learning to love Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to obey Him, to do His divine will, and to unite our desires, plans, and interests with His.

Learning to know our true spiritual identity, and thus to know that each of us is an individual spiritual soul, distinct from God.

Learning to reject envy, lust, anger, and greed, which plunge humanity into delusion, perdition, darkness, and perpetual suffering.

Purifying ourselves through austerity and penance.

To purify one's existence by adopting God-consciousness and purifying oneself of all erroneous conceptions, such as the bodily conception of existence.

To attain the highest possible perfection by serving and delighting in pleasing the Supreme Lord, Krishna.

To realize God, who is none other than Absolute Truth.

To make a firm resolution to be faithful to Him and return to His absolute kingdom.

To regain the position of eternal servant of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the natural position we held with Him in the beginning of all things.

Human life offers the opportunity to find refuge with a spiritual master, a true servant of God, and through him, to take refuge with the Supreme Lord.

The true mission of the individual soul's life, embodied and conditioned by matter, which each of us is, is to re-establish its forgotten relationship with Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and to practice devotional service in such a way as to regain our God-consciousness after leaving our bodies.

The nature of a person's occupation is of no importance whatsoever, as long as they succeed in pleasing the Supreme Lord, their existence is successful.

The material universe was created to give embodied and conditioned souls the opportunity to return to the kingdom of God, but most of them do not take advantage of this opportunity.
