How to Realize the Absolute Truth
How to Realize the Absolute Truth
One can never be satisfied by any amount of speculative philosophy, so-called scientific knowledge, or sense pleasures of this mundane world. Unless one is given a chance to hear, understand, and realize the actual knowledge of the universe, the self, and the Supreme Self, he will never be satisfied. It does not matter how much one goes on watching television, listening to the radio, surfing the Internet, attending movies, having sex, or reading the newspaper. He will always feel that something is ultimately lacking in his consciousness. The fact is that no one can be satisfied by absorbing himself in the flickering sense gratification pleasures of this material world, because such pleasures are incompatible with the innermost nature of the living being.
The transcendental Vedic literatures can give the utmost satisfaction to the entire human civilization. This is so because such literatures are describing in detail the reality which exists eternally behind the flickering screen of this material world, and how one can enter into it, even while functioning expertly in one's ordinary day-to-day dealings. These literatures connect one with his very atma or self, thus liberating him from false identification with the coverings of the self, the gross and subtle material bodies. But as long as people remain less intelligent, they will take more interest in the mirage of happiness offered by the material world, than the actual happiness that is available for them if they are willing to open their minds to the Supreme Truth.
It is a great sadness for those who have been blessed with transcendental knowledge to see how much people are foolishly suffering simply because they are misinvesting their most valuable human energy. The human energy has to be spent one way or another. So why not spend it properly by investing it in realizing the Absolute Truth? This realization is dormant in the all heart of all living entities and is on the verge of awakening in the hearts of all human beings. If the human being can catalyze his enlightened consciousness by association with enlightened Vedic knowledge such as the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad-gita, or by the association of an enlightened person, the bona fide spiritual master, then he can come out of the clouds of illusion and suffering and fully realize his actual identity as an eternal servant of God. This is the purpose of the human form of life.

The Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
