Pure Love Makes Life Perfect
“For a long time I have not bestowed unalloyed loving service to Me upon the inhabitants of the world. Without such loving attachment, the existence of the material world is useless.
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa says that for a long time He has not bestowed unalloyed loving service upon the inhabitants of the world. The Lord seldom awards pure transcendental love.
- Without such loving attachment to Him, the existence of the material world is useless.
- Perfection in life requires pure love of God. This love is free from fruitive activities and empiric speculation.
