	Human life is an opportunity offered by the laws of nature to the conditioned soul so that he may understand his eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

			It is stated, ''parama-kāruṇiko vedaḥ''—"Vedic knowledge is supremely merciful"—because it engages the animalistic human beings in a gradual process of purification that culminates in full consciousness of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed by the Lord Himself in [[Bhagavad-gita As It Is (1972)\|''Bhagavad-gītā'']] (''vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)\|BG 15.15]])). The majority of human beings are not able to suddenly give up material sense gratification, even though they understand from Vedic literature that such sense gratification causes a pernicious future effect. We have practical experience in the Western countries that when the government informed the citizens that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer, most people were unable to give up their smoking habit. Therefore, the Vedic literature prescribes a gradual process of purification in which the conditioned soul learns to offer the results of his material activities to the Supreme Lord, thus spiritualizing those activities. Material sense gratification is based on two organs, namely the tongue for tasting and the genitals for sex life. By offering palatable food to the Deity of Kṛṣṇa and then enjoying the remnants as ''kṛṣṇa-prasādam'' and by accepting the rules and regulations for Vedic householder life and begetting of Kṛṣṇa conscious children, one can gradually bring the full range of material activities to the platform of pure devotional service. By offering the fruits of one's ordinary activities to the Supreme Lord, one gradually understands that the Lord Himself, and not material sense gratification, is the actual goal of life. Lord Kṛṣṇa warns in [[Bhagavad-gita As It Is (1972)\|''Bhagavad-gītā'']] that if people are prematurely encouraged to give up householder life or the sumptuous remnants of the Lord's ''prasādam'', such artificial renunciation will have the opposite effect.

			There is a class of duplicitous men who misunderstand the transcendental purpose of the ''Vedas'' and falsely claim that material fruitive results such as promotion to heaven, which is offered in the ''agniṣṭoma'' sacrifice, constitute the ultimate goal of the ''Vedas''. Such foolish men have been described by Lord Kṛṣṇa:

	"Men of small knowledge are very much attached to the flowery words of the Vedas, which recommend various fruitive activities for elevation to heavenly planets, resultant good birth, power, and so forth. Being desirous of sense gratification and opulent life, they say that there is nothing more than this." (Bg. 2.42-43) To refute such a foolish understanding of the Vedic purpose, this verse uses the word niḥsaṅgaḥ, which means "without attachment to material results."

	The words rocanārthā phala-śrutiḥ clearly indicate that the fruitive results promised in the Vedic literature are meant to stimulate a materialistic person to have faith in the Vedic injunctions.

It is stated, parama-kāruṇiko vedaḥ—"Vedic knowledge is supremely merciful"—because it engages the animalistic human beings in a gradual process of purification that culminates in full consciousness of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed by the Lord Himself in Bhagavad-gītā ([[BG vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ ([[BG 15.15]])]]).

There is a class of duplicitous men who misunderstand the transcendental purpose of the Vedas and falsely claim that material fruitive results such as promotion to heaven, which is offered in the agniṣṭoma sacrifice, constitute the ultimate goal of the Vedas. Such foolish men have been described by Lord Kṛṣṇa:

"Men of small knowledge are very much attached to the flowery words of the Vedas, which recommend various fruitive activities for elevation to heavenly planets, resultant good birth, power, and so forth. Being desirous of sense gratification and opulent life, they say that there is nothing more than this." (Bg. 2.42-43) To refute such a foolish understanding of the Vedic purpose, this verse uses the word niḥsaṅgaḥ, which means "without attachment to material results." The actual purpose of the Vedas is arpitam īśvare, to offer everything to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The result is siddhim, or the perfection of life, Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
