All philosophy

 

All philosophy, by Haripada dasa

The philosophy of Krishna consciousness is so simple that I will try to expose it in this message, Srila Prabhupada in CC, adi-lila, 7, 106 informs us that in the Vedanta sutra there are 4 chapters, the first two inform us of the knowledge of the relationship, at the beginning of said book informs us that now is the time to know, this means that we have to be aware of how fortunate we are to have a human form of life, and the purpose of human life is to know God and love him, and go back home back to Godhead, relationship knowledge means knowing what and who God is, Krishna has a spiritual body full of eternity, knowledge and bliss, He is the cause of all causes, and He is the supreme pleasure, and we are parts and portions of Him, and our constitutional position is to be loving and eternal servants of Krishna, in chapter 3 we are informed about how to act in our constitutional position, that means practical ca of the nine members of devotional service: 1) Hearing the name and glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 2) Sing their glories. 3) Remember the Lord. 4) Serve at the feet of the Lord. 5) Worship the deity of the Lord. 6) Offer obeisances to the Lord. 7) Act as a servant of the Lord. 8) Make friends with the Lord and 9) surrender completely to the Lord, and in the 4th chapter we are informed that the result of practicing devotional service is that one will awaken his latent love for God, said love is there eternally in the heart of all living entities, and that love for God is the only need of the soul, no soul can be happy or fully satisfied without awakening love for God. There is the whole philosophy of Krishna consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada gave us 80 books of 400 pages each, he always said that all doubts will go away when studying his books, in chapter 7 of the Nectar of Devotion it is said that if we carefully read The Bhagavad Gita, The Srimad Bhagavatam, The teachings of Lord Chaitanya and this Nectar of Devotion, we will gain sufficient knowledge to understand the science of Krishna consciousness. We don't need to take the trouble to read other books.
