Who is aware of God, develops pure love for Krishna, the Supreme Person. Whatever relationship a person has with the Supreme Lord, it is that which emanates from his feelings towards God that takes precedence.

Any personal relationship with God necessarily begins with a relationship of servant to master and then, where appropriate, develop into friendship, then into parental love and finally into conjugal love. Anyone who establishes himself in his own relationship with God, the Supreme Person, is in the best relationship possible for him. However, an analysis of the spiritual feelings which characterize the various relationships with the Divine reveals that the neutral relationship (that by which one considers God, only as being the Eternal Supreme) with the Supreme Lord is at the first rung. A further realization of God consists in seeing him as his master and then, beyond, as his friend; and still higher is the relationship in which we perceive the Lord as his child. The parental relation is thus more evolved and of a higher quality than the relation of friendship, but the supreme relation among all is that where one develops a conjugal love for the Sovereign Lord.

Spiritual realization imbued with an attitude of service is in itself transcendent, but when this attitude turns into a feeling of brotherhood, the relationship deepens further. And when the affection intensifies, the relationship comes to be established at the parental level. Ultimately, however, marital love characterizes the highest relationship that can unite us to the Supreme Lord. All spiritual affection for the Supreme Lord, at whatever level, is undoubtedly transcendent, but that which is peculiar to a devotee is more delectable to him than to any other.

Life is about spiritual fulfillment and the restoration of our forgotten relationship with God. The human form is especially intended for the blossoming of the consciousness of Krishna, God, because this divine consciousness will allow us to find our eternal body of bliss and knowledge. The purpose of Krishna Consciousness or God Consciousness is to give us a body of the same nature as that of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person Himself.

Knowing one's intimate relationship with the Lord is the supreme goal of human life. Krishna consciousness is the art of spiritualizing material activity, of increasing the degree of spiritual realization of the one who accomplishes it, of knowing the universality of God and the relationship that unites us to Him.
