A
- A devotee of the Lord is guaranteed eternal life. A devotee's old age or disease in the present life is but an impetus to such guaranteed eternal life
- A moment passed in the association of a pure devotee by hearing and chanting the transcendental messages of the Lord is a perfect guarantee for eternal life, for returning home, back to Godhead
- A sadhu like Vidura is meant to awaken such blind persons and help them go back to Godhead, where life is eternal. Once going there, no one wants to come back to this material world of miseries
- A sane man can see that all such grand activities, although perhaps very important for temporary life, have nothing to do with eternal life
- All other living beings can also enjoy spiritual bliss, eternal life and full knowledge in His (Krsna's) association
- All the devotees connected with the Krsna consciousness movement must read all the books that have been translated (the CC, SB, BG and others); otherwise, they will miss the opportunity to attain an eternal, blissful life of transcendental pleasure
- Although such demigods as Lord Siva have eternal life, they have inauspicious habits like living in crematoriums. And even if others are well qualified in all respects, they are not devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Any comfort of life or any material happiness which does not warrant an eternal life is but illusion for the eternal living being
- As a very rich man has no hankerings for small petty things, so also a devotee of Lord Krsna, who is guaranteed to pass on to the kingdom of God, where life is eternal, fully cognizant and blissful, naturally has no hankerings for petty material things
- As for the python, however, by the association of Krsna and His devotees, Aghasura also achieved the same facility of eternal life
- Association of material world means accepting one type of body and enjoy or suffer for some time; then you get another body. Now we have to make our choice, whether you want to stop this material way of life and attain the eternal spiritual life
- At present we do not possess any information of this eternal life, although we have much pride, even vanity, about our material knowledge
B
- Because we have been accustomed to accepting one body after another since time immemorial, it is difficult for us to think of a life that is eternal
- Brahman means spiritual or eternal; both the impersonalist and the devotee seek eternal blissful life. In any case, it is advised that one become perfect
- Buddha philosophy flourished for temporary relief, for stopping the animal killing & the Mayavada philosophy also flourished to stop the Buddha philosophy. So both of them are asat-sastra. Asat means emergency regulation. They aren't for our eternal life
D
- Devotee of the Lord do not compete with the materialist because they are on the path back to Godhead where life is eternal and blissful. Such transcendentalists are nonenvious and pure in heart
- Devotional service to the Supreme Lord, which leads one to eternal, blissful and all-cognizant life, is called the superior quality of occupation. This is sometimes polluted when mixed with the inferior quality
- Due to the living entity's ignorance of his eternal blissful life, he becomes attracted to material activities under the spell of maya. In this world, he can never experience happiness, yet he works very hard to do so. This is called maya
- Duration of life with a proportionate quantity of bliss and knowledge may be increased from one planet to another. One can increase the duration of life to thousands & hundreds of thousands of years in different planets, but nowhere is there eternal life
E
- Eternal happiness, imperishable happiness, eternal life accompany DS. Therefore, realization of Brahman, or eternity, or imperishability is included in devotional service. This is already possessed by a person who is engaged in DS. BG 1972 purports
- Eternal life, such nice, always youthful, such nicely dressed, and four hands. Now you are eating with two hands. You will get four hands
- Even if one goes to the topmost planet, one cannot achieve eternal life. Only by arriving in Vaikunthaloka can one live an eternally blissful life
- Even if you live longer, does it meant that eternal life? That is already there. I'll live for eighty years. Another lives for, say, sixty years. Another lives for hundred years. That is already there
- Even though we may be able to avoid distress and artificially enjoy some material happiness by temporary achievements, this represents no factual gain in life. Our duty is to achieve permanent happiness and eternal life
- Everyone is searching for eternal peace or eternal life and with an aim to this destination everyone is studying the Vedas or other religious scriptures or undergoing severe austerity as empiric philosophers, as mystics yogis or as unalloyed devotees
H

- He (Krsna) says, repeatedly, "If you enter into the highest planet of this universe, still, your repetition of birth and death will continue. But mam upetya, if you come to My planet," - Oh, there is no more rebirth. No more. You get your eternal life
- He (Rsabhadeva) regulated the general populace in householder life, enabling them to develop religion and economic well-being and to attain reputations, sons and daughters, material pleasure and finally eternal life
- He becomes a liberated soul, and he goes to the eternal world, and he becomes in his constitutional position of blissful and knowledge and eternal life - Simply by knowing in truth the transcendental nature of Krsna's birth and activities
- How we can get that eternal life, eternal nature, eternal happiness and eternal knowledge - the Bhagavad-gita is meant for that purpose. If you are interested for eternity, then Bhagavad-gita is very congenial
- However, becoming zero is not possible, nor is it necessary. We are in trouble in our material condition, but when we get out of our material condition we can find real life, eternal life
I
- I want eternal happiness, I want complete knowledge, I want eternal life also. That is the ultimate end of yoga system
- I'm simply transmigrating from one body to another. If this is stopped now, now if I get in my next body my eternal life, eternal knowledge and eternal bliss, why I shall not accept this
