For one acquainted with the spiritual wisdom of India, the ideal life is not a fast-paced competitive run through a self-serving consumer paradise.

An awakened person will try to learn something worthwhile along the way, to gradually accumulate assets of permanent value.

All else eventually slips away.
Srila Prabhupada declares, “We don’t say that this scientific knowledge is useless. Mechanics, electronics-this is also knowledge – but the central point is atma-jnana, self-knowledge, knowledge of the soul.”

In these thirty-one essays, talks, and informal conversations, Srila Prabhupada reveals the central point of essential self-knowledge–a knowledge that makes all other knowledge and activities pale in comparison.

Brighten your life with the light of self-knowledge and gain a world perspective usually reserved for ascetics and saints.
