Everyone is searching after to love somebody. That's a fact. Because we are lover. Our constitutional position is lover. Prahlāda Mahārāja says that Viṣṇu . . . your loving object is Viṣṇu. So try to love Viṣṇu, then your life will be successful. You'll feel satisfaction. Yayātmā suprasīdati. You'll feel, "Oh, I have got something now. Now I have got this loving object." In another place Prahlāda Mahārāja said, na te viduḥ svārtha gatiṁ hi viṣṇu ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). They do not know what is their actual loving object. That is Viṣṇu.

And in the Vedic mantra, Ṛg mantra, it is said, tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ (Ṛg-veda 1.22.20). Those who are demigods, they are always sūrayaḥ. Sūrayaḥ means . . . just like Āryans and non-Āryans. Then there's suri and asuri, or sura or asura. Asura, asura means demons, and sura, just the opposite. Or Āryans and non-Āryans. So the Āryans . . . Āryans, the real meaning, the Sanskrit word Āryans means progressive. We have historically made a class of men. No. Āryans civilization means who is progressive, advancing. They are intelligent. They are fair-complexioned. Therefore Āryans means progressive. So they know.

Vedic mantra says that tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padam. Paramaṁ padam, the highest perfection of life, is to understand Viṣṇu, or God. Tad viṣṇuṁ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ (Ṛg-veda 1.22.20). In order to reach that goal, they are always looking after that. Just like in darkness you are walking on the road. The cynosure of the neighboring eyes. You see the stars. Just like in the ocean, the navigators, they look to the polestar, that which side they are going. Similarly, our aim should be always to Viṣṇu. Always to Viṣṇu. But unfortunately we are not educated in that way. We are educated in different way. Therefore there is disaster.

The same example we can give. If you do not know that the polestar, then you may be misdirected. Just like Columbus, he came to America, or many . . . there are many navigators. If they miss that, misses that polestar, then they will be misdirected. Similarly, our human form of life, the aim should be to understand Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu. That should be the aim of life. Tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ.
