to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
One's main purpose in human life should be to purify his existence and
achieve liberation. As long as one has a material body, one is understood to
be impure. In such an impure, material condition, one cannot enjoy a truly
blissful life, although everyone seeks it. Therefore Srimad-Bhagavatam
(5.5.1) says, tapo divyam putraka yena sattvam suddhyet: one must perform
tapasya, austerity, to purify his existence in order to come to the
spiritual platform. The tapasya of chanting and glorifying the name, fame
and attributes of the Lord is a very easy purifying process by which
everyone can be happy. Therefore everyone who desires the ultimate cleansing
of his heart must adopt this process. Other processes, such as karma, jnana
and yoga, cannot cleanse the heart absolutely.
