Srila Prabhupada, Durban, October 9, 1975: […] That is our only business in the human life, to understand God. We have no other business. And if you want to understand God, then you have to become purified. Without being purified…

yesam tv anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam te dvandva-moha-nirmukta bhajante mam drdha-vratah

[Bg. 7.28]

So it is very easy thing. Simply we have to take to this yoga system, yogam yunjan mad-asrayah, under the shelter of Krishna or His devotee. Then we shall understand what is God in full, samagram. Samagram means full, without any doubt. Other, mental speculators, they are in doubt. They do not know whether there is God or what kind of God He is, what does He do or what is His business, so many things.

But these Krishna conscious people, they know exactly what is God and where is His address, where is His family. Everything they know, samagram, samagram and asamsaya, without any doubt. Not that, “Yes, I have now come to know God, where He lives, His address and His activity, but it may not be,” samsaya. No. Asamsayam samagram. Asamsayam samagram mam yatha jnasyasi tac chrnu [Bg. 7.1] So it is not difficult. If we are actually serious to understand what is God, God is explaining here Himself. You cannot speculate upon God. God is explaining Himself, “This is… I am like this.” Just like a very big man. If you speculate upon him, “He may be possessing so much wealth, he may be like this. He may be…” No. That “may be” may be or may not be. But if that person explains himself, “My dear Mr. such and such, my position is like this. I am like this,” then it is very easy.

So take instruction from God to understand God. Then your life will be perfect. And if you understand God, then your all problems solved. Our real problem is repetition of birth and death. That is real problem. That we do not know. We are callous. We do not know what is the position of my real self. That we do not know. This is called ignorance. That instruction is given in the Bhagavad-gita in the beginning. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. This living spirit… Na jayate na mriyate va kadacin na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. This, I mean to say, spirit soul is never born. Then what is this birth? The birth is of this body. Dehino ’smin yatha dehe kaumaram [Bg. 2.13]. This change of body We are changing body. But I am the eternal. Full Lecture
