<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Press Conference -- April 18, 1974, Hyderabad|Press Conference -- April 18, 1974, Hyderabad]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Guest (2): What is the ultimate aim of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, ultimate aim is that there is spirit and matter. As there is material world, there is spiritual world also. Paras tasmāt tu bhāvaḥ anyaḥ avyaktaḥ avyaktāt sanātanaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 8.20 (1972)|BG 8.20]]). The spiritual world is eternal. The material world is temporary. We are spirit soul. We are eternal. Therefore our business is to go back to the spiritual world, not that we remain in the material world and change body from bad to worse or worse to bad, er, good. That is not our business. That is a disease. Our healthy life is to enjoy eternal life. Yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama ([[Vanisource:BG 15.6 (1972)|BG 15.6]]). So our human life should be utilized for attaining that perfectional stage—not to get any more this material body which we have to change. This is the aim of life.</p>
<p>Guest (3): Is that perfection possible in one life?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, in one moment, if you agree. Kṛṣṇa says that</p>
:sarva-dharmān parityajya
:mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
:ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
:mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
:([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])
<p>We change our body on account of sinful activities, but if we surrender to Kṛṣṇa and take Kṛṣṇa consciousness, immediately you are on the spiritual platform.</p>
:māṁ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa
:bhakti-yogena sevate
:sa guṇān samatītyaitān
:brahma-bhūyāya kalpate
:([[Vanisource:BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])
<p>As soon as you become unalloyed devotee of Kṛṣṇa, you immediately transcend this material platform. Brahma-bhūyāya kalpate. You remain in the spiritual platform. And if you die in the spiritual platform, then you go to the spiritual world.</p>
