At a time when material science is predominating over all subjects including the tenets of religiosity, it will be a great enlivening matter if we can see the principles of Sanatan Dharma from the point of view of the modern scientist.
Sanatana Dharama is the Religion of All Living Entities
The Vedas and Acharyas are expert boatsman and a human body is compared with a favourable breeze which can help the boat reach the destination. With these facilities if a person does not utilize human life for self realisation, he must be considered as the killer of the soul.
Sri Isopanisad
As long as we have the desire for material sense gratification or the desire for material liberation there is no possibility of developing transcendental bliss in Krsna consciousness.
A person who is interested in the matter of transcendental knowledge must therefore enquire into it directly and indirectly always in order to know truth which is all pervading.
The living being is perpetually going on performing this temporary measure of cleanliness but he has to remain unclean in the heart unless and until he takes to the devotional service of the Lord.

By austerity only can one even approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is within the heart of every living entity and at the same time beyond the reach of all senses.
Human beings are meant to eat vegetarian food. The tiger does not come to eat your fruits. His prescribed food is animal flesh. But man’s food is vegetables, fruits, grains, and milk products. So how can you say that animal killing is not a sin?
Everything belongs to Krsna. We are artificially enjoying so frustration will come but if we return everything to Krsna, then it will be all right. So the best thing is to return everything to Krsna. This is Krsna consciousness. Then you will not be loser; you’ll be gainer.
Lord Krsna says nobody knows Him. Even the demigods on higher planets, who are more intelligent and more advanced than human beings, do not know Krsna. Nor do the seven great sages whose planet is near the polestar. They also do not know Him.
That is rascaldom. Where is the accident? Nothing is accidental. Everything happens by cause and effect. The Bible says that in the beginning there was God, or the word of God. So God was there.
I request all my Vaishnava readers to read and hear with rapt attention the narration of Krishna Chaitanya as they are inculcated in the revealed scriptures.
Devotees who have thus developed the spontaneous love of God naturally have no motive behind the performance of their devotional services. Whatever they do for the satisfaction of the Lord has no ulterior motive save and except the satisfaction of the Lord.
Caitanya Caritamrta and Bhakti Rasamrta Sindhu
Here is happiness: one must approach Krsna. Otherwise, it will end in LSD—confusion and roaming in impersonal void concepts. People are frustrated. They must be frustrated if they do not have genuine spiritual life because a person is spiritual by nature.
Let that Lord known as the son of Shreemati Sachi Devi be transcendentally situated unto the heart of you all as He has appeared Himself by His causeless mercy in order to bestow the highest standard of illuminated transcendental mellow of His devotional service.

Rasa is psychologically described as a sense perception. But the sense perception which we experience in our material conception of life, is a perverted reflection of the reality.
