Love of God - The Ultimate Goal

Digest 00775: Will my catholic friend who follows the religious practices nicely go back to Godhead?

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: I have a Catholic friend, he is very pious, he believes that Lord Jesus was a vegetarian, and preached reincarnation etc. He follows all the rules of being Catholic, chants the rosary daily, does nice service at church and in community. If he follows like this, then he will go back home to Godhead correct?

Answer by Romapada Swami:

The main factors of going back to Godhead is if one has developed pure unconditional love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead by following a bonafide spiritual master. Having said that, the destination of the follower of a bonafide representative of God, will be according to their consciousness at the time of death and also their level of devotion, love and faith in God, their conditioning, etc. There is no certain way to say when or which lifetime(s) they will achieve that Supreme destination.
