Now we will explain about the goal of life. We must have a relation with Kṛṣṇa, but He is not the goal of life. He is the object of sambandha. Our relationship and service to Him is abhidheya—the process But actually our goal is kṛṣṇa-prema, premamayī-sevā—love-filled service to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Lord. He is very beautiful and brilliant, more so than thousands of moons. He is very qualified and merciful, and He is unlimited. All qualities are in Him, and even contradictory qualities are in Him. There are no words in the entire universe that can give a proper description of His glory.
