Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Whatever we have done, never mind. If we take the step that "From now we have got the opportunity of human life. Now this life . . . I have enjoyed material life in various life, as cats and dogs and in so many life, the āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunaṁ ca (Hitopadeśa 25), the same pleasure: eating, sleeping, and sexual intercourse and to take protection of . . . So this is not the business of human life. The human life is just to understand my relationship with the Supreme and engage myself in that engagement." You see? That should be the mission of life.

If we become sincerely to be servant of God, just like Arjuna became, and if we want to serve His purpose and mission, as soon as . . . the Lord is within you. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati (BG 18.61).

He is simply waiting, when you are turning your face towards Him. You are now turned your face towards māyā, the illusion. As soon as you turn your face towards Him, oh, He will help you in every respect. Every respect. He is so kind. He is so merciful. Just like father: However rebellious son he may be, as soon as comes to his father, "Father, forgive me. I shall now obey you," that father at once . . . he was always ready to forgive him. Father is so kind to the son that he wants that "If my son comes back, I shall forgive all his misgiving, if he comes back just like a good boy." That is a natural instinct. You see?

Similarly, whatever we have done, never mind. If we take the step that "From now we have got the opportunity of human life. Now this life . . . I have enjoyed material life in various life, as cats and dogs and in so many life, the āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunaṁ ca (Hitopadeśa 25), the same pleasure: eating, sleeping, and sexual intercourse and to take protection of . . .

So this is not the business of human life. The human life is just to understand my relationship with the Supreme and engage myself in that engagement." You see? That should be the mission of life. And as soon as we do it, all facilities are open, and the little progress you make, you will find that you have no more attachment for material life and material enjoyment.
