Radhanath Swami on Worthy Goal

People make goals, strive with such determination and perform such great sacrifices—for what? For things that are so flickering and temporary that any moment there is the danger of losing everything
that we dedicated our lives for. Therefore in the Shrimad Bhagavatam ( a Vedic literature) it is said that an intelligent person makes his goal the Kingdom of God; he/she makes his/her goal of life only the pleasure of the Lord; he/she never puts much value in any of these other things of the world.
