Perfect love of God, properly directed to the root, naturally extends to all beings and ensures eternal liberation.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation with Dr. Ware of the Mensa Society — September 5, 1971, London 710905R1-LONDON [114:12 Minutes]Conv_710905R1-LONDON The italic text below was not recorded but was written on the reel box before recorder was switched on: Dr. Ware: Swāmījī, you'll be glad to know your Society, like ours, is worldwide and not based upon color, creed or designations. Prabhupāda: Yes, designation means falsely identifying that I am this body. Prabhupāda: So now the soul is in this body. Next time, the soul will be in another body.
So according to the body we are having designations. As soon as we get American body, I... [break] ... designation. According to the body I create my designation. But one has to become free from all designation.
That is called liberated stage—in his own constitutional position. That position is eternal servant of God. That is the real position of every living entity. But because at the present moment the living entity is in contact with matter, so according to the material mode of the body, he's identifying himself with this body. That is called material designation.
"I am American," "I am Englishman," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am this," "I am that"—these are all designation. So real perfection of life is without designation. And that is the real, constitutional position. Jīvera svarūpa haya nitya-kṛṣṇa-dāsa [Cc. Madhya 20.108-109]. Actual position of the living entity it is [indistinct—microphone feedback problem] Don't disturb, let it go [indistinct]. So that is the perfection of life. And human life is especially meant for..., to come to that transcendental position, without any designation. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is for that purpose.
One should be always thinking of Kṛṣṇa, or God. That position is perfect position. And if one keeps himself in that designationless position, always thinking of himself as part and parcel of God, then next life he goes back home, back to Godhead. Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti [Bg. 4.9].
After quitting this body he does not come back again to take another material body. He takes spiritual body, or develops a spiritual body, and goes back to home, back to Godhead, which means eternal, blissful life of knowledge. Our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is for that purpose. We are trying to bring all men—of different dimensions, different division—to come to this position, always thinking of that "I am part and parcel of God. My real position is to serve God." Just like this finger is part and parcel of my body.
The business of the finger is to serve the body. So long it is in normal condition, the finger is meant for serving the body. When the finger is painful, or in abnormal condition, it cannot serve the body. Similarly, the living entity, being part and parcel of God, when we cannot serve God, that is his abnormal condition.
