Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 
Devotional service to Hari is known as Suddha-Vaishnava-Dharma, Nitya-Dharma, Jaiva-Dharma, Bhagavata-Dharma, Paramatma-Dharma, and Para-Dharma.  All religious principles that have arisen from the predisposition towardBrahman and Paramatma are temporary (because they are materiallymotivated).  There is a material motive behind searching for the impersonal Brahman.  Therefore, such searching is causal and therefore temporary.  Aconditioned soul trying to free himself from material bondage takes shelter oftemporary religious principles in the form of searching for the impersonal Brahman.  Therefore, the predisposition toward Brahman is not eternal.  A living entity who meditates on the Supersoul to achieve happiness derived from Samadhi is also following temporary religious principles, keeping subtle materialenjoyment within his mind.  Therefore the predisposition toward Paramatma is also not eternal.  Only pure Bhagavata Dharma is eternal.
