The real purpose of our existence


So this is what we have to understand that the real purpose of your existence lies in our becoming connected to Krishna, and how do we become connected to Krishna? By serving Krishna. What motivates us to serve Krishna? Love. It’s the love that motivates us to serve Him.


>>>>>>>
Love is there in our hearts. With the soul, love is there. Just as with fire, light is there, and heat is there. With the soul two things are there; one is consciousness and the desire to love. Many other things are also there, wherever there is consciousness there is a tendency to love. Wherever there is consciousness there is a tendency to desire, and by fulfillment of desire leads us to happiness.

So desire is the motivating factor. We desire, and when the desire gets fulfilled we feel we are happy. What should be the real desire? Our real desire should be to love Krishna, and what will be the expression of that love? The service.
