What is the greatest religion and the greatest action for a human being?
Shrimad Bhagavat Mahapurana ( 1.2.5-11)
The best religion for human beings is one by which there is devotion to the Lord, such that there is no desire of any kind, which remains eternally continuous. When devotion to Lord Krishna occurs, the mind is connected to Him with love; a devotee then gains pure knowledge and renunciation.
Even after properly performing Dharma, if a man does not have a passion for the stories of the Lord's pastimes, it is mere labour.
The fruit of righteousness is salvation. Its significance lies not in attaining materialistic achievements. Pleasure is not supposed to be its fruit.
The fruit of pleasure is not to satisfy the senses; its purpose is only to maintain life. The fruit of life is also a sense of elemental curiosity. Getting heaven and other things by doing a lot of karma is not his fruit.
The philosophers call the undivided, unique, and absolute consciousness (Saccidananda), devoid of the distinction between the knower and the known, Tattva. Some call it Brahman, others Paramatma, and others God.
