Mukti· LiberationAll Living Beings Share One Highest Interest
“When the ultimate goal and interest of one’s self, one’s wife, one’s children, one’s relatives and all other embodied living beings is one, this is called dravyādvaita, or oneness of interest.”
What the purport teaches
- Dravyādvaita means oneness of interest among oneself, one's family and all embodied living beings. Their actual goal is to return home, back to Godhead.
- The objective of everyone's highest interest is Viṣṇu. Kṛṣṇa conscious activities give everyone an opportunity to reach this ultimate goal.
- Not knowing their true interest, people make different plans for material happiness and follow misleading leaders. Different names for a process need not divide people when the ultimate aim is one.
