Who is transcendentalist? Who wants to know God, he is transcendentalist. Not ordinary person. No, no. Who is topmost transcendentalist? The devotees. Why? Why not the yogīs and the jñānīs, impersonalists, and the, the meditators about . . .? Why they are not? Because Kṛṣṇa says that bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ (BG 18.55) "Only through devotional service one can understand Me."
So transcendental life means to understand the Absolute Truth. The Absolute Truth can be understood perfectly only through devotional service. There is no other way. There is no other way. In every scripture, Vedic scripture, this is announced. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also, the same thing confirmed, evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ (SB 1.2.20). When, by discharging devotional service, one will be prasanna-manasaḥ, very jolly mood, always jolly . . . bhagavat-tattva-vijñānaṁ mukta-saṅgasya jāyate. Unless one is freed from material anxieties, unless one is not spiritually joyful, he cannot understand what is the science of Kṛṣṇa. It is not possible.
So therefore we have to cultivate this devotional service. Then our ultimate goal of life, to understand the Absolute Truth, our relationship with Him, that will be perfectly done.
Thank you very much.
