Real Goal Of Life - Prabhupada 0641

680112 - Lecture SB 01.05.04 - Los Angeles

Now we have invented so many instruments for flying in the space. Upary adhaḥ means very upward, fifty thousand miles up, and again down, you can travel. But the real goal of your life is not to be achieved in that way. Bhramatām upary adhaḥ. Suppose if you reach the moon planet or sun planet . . . there are so many planets higher and higher, bigger and bigger. But that is not your goal of life.

tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovida na labhyate yad bhramatām upary adhaḥ (SB 1.5.18)

Your goal of life is that which you cannot achieve even by traveling the whole space. What is that? That goal of life is to search out God and your relationship with God.
