The human being suffers because he has forgotten God, and no longer knows who he is.

The living being suffers because he does not know the existence of the hidden treasure of his Father, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. This hidden treasure is love for God, which all the Vedic scriptures [of the Vedas, the original holy scriptures also called “The True Gospel”] invite the conditioned soul to discover.

The conditioned soul is not aware that it is the daughter of the richest Being, God. Therefore, the true gospel is transmitted to it to help it find its Father and its heritage, love for God.

It is through devotional service in full Krishna consciousness that one can find this treasure. Such is the hidden wealth that never dries up, so that by acquiring it, one becomes rich forever.

It is to serve Krishna, God, the Supreme Person that we have been created; this is the primary reason for our existence.

The Supreme Lord, Krishna, the Sovereign Divine Person, is by nature overflowing with joy, and He multiplies Himself to increase His spiritual and absolute happiness. And we the separate beings already exist as minute parts of the Supreme Lord for the satisfaction of His divine senses.

The living being, the soul incarnated in a human, animal or vegetable body, belongs to the internal energy of the Lord and is therefore also identical to Him, but it never equals and surpasses God, Krishna. God and other beings all have their own individuality. They have no recourse but to recognise the supremacy of Lord Krishna, and voluntarily engage in His service of love and devotion, for it is for this purpose that they were created. If they do not return to this original and natural duty, the world can know neither peace nor tranquillity.

The spiritual being is but a tiny fragment of Krishna, created by the Lord to contribute to His joy. Just as an organ contributes to the harmonious functioning of the whole body, but cannot enjoy by itself in an autonomous way, the only role of the being distinct from God is to be united with the Lord in a spirit of “cooperation”.

This relationship also exists between the Lord, the creator and supreme beneficiary of all that is, and the spiritual beings, his subordinate creatures. As parts of the Whole that is God, the Supreme Person, we must all contribute to His joy, to His satisfaction. Only in this way will we find our own happiness.
