Human Life Is Meant for Spiritual Inquiry

“The Lord said, “Vedānta philosophy consists of words spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa in the form of Vyāsadeva.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 7.106, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Vedānta philosophy consists of words spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa in the form of Vyāsadeva.
  • The Vedānta-sūtra is the concise form of all Vedic knowledge. Its aphorisms reveal the method of understanding that knowledge.
  • It begins with the call to inquire about the Absolute Truth. The human form of life is especially meant for this inquiry.
