Our consciousness can either improve or decline depending on how we perceive and interact with the world. When we recognize ourselves as eternal, spiritual beings—parts of a greater, supreme whole—our consciousness expands and we experience true happiness. However, if we prioritize the fleeting pleasures of our physical body and mind, our consciousness diminishes, leading to misery. Spiritual growth, or the elevation of our consciousness to higher, more blissful states, occurs swiftly when we reconnect with our awareness of God.
In this concise book, Srila Prabhupada advises us to view the world as it truly is—a temporary, anxiety-filled place—and to pursue the higher path toward the Supreme Person, Krishna. Anyone can elevate their consciousness, and the journey begins with the first step.
