Sarga· CreationAnalysis Finds Its Conclusion in Kṛṣṇa
“Thus great philosophers have analyzed the material elements in many different ways. All of their proposals are reasonable, since they are all presented with ample logic. Indeed, such philosophical brilliance is expected of the truly learned.”
What the purport teaches
- Great philosophers have analyzed the material elements in many reasonable ways, supporting their proposals with ample logic.
- Despite innumerable analyses, the conclusion is always one: the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva.
- Rather than waste precious time displaying intellectual brilliance, one should surrender to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This uncovers one's eternal consciousness of God.

Ask yourself
Is my study helping me surrender to Kṛṣṇa, or mainly giving me opportunities to display knowledge?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
