If we want to abolish all unwanted things of life, simply we come to the spiritual platform. Because that is our aim. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. This human life is meant for spiritual understanding, not for any other purpose. Tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovidaḥ (SB 1.5.18), śāstra recommends. Only for spiritual understanding engage your activities. And what will be other things, about my family life, worldly life? That is said, that tal labhyate duḥkhavad anyataḥ sukham. Just like you don't aspire or don't wish for distressed condition; it comes upon you. Similarly, whatever happy condition in your life is expected, that will also come. You don't require . . . There are many places.

This is the statement, that "Remain in your place, but hear from the authorities about Kṛṣṇa. Then everything will be clear." Śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.17|SB 1.2.17]]). Even if you do not understand a word, but if you hear from the realized soul about Kṛṣṇa, then, hṛdy antaḥ-stho hy abhadrāṇi vidhunoti suhṛt satām. Kṛṣṇa is situated in everyone's heart, īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati ([[Vanisource:BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). If we become sincere to hear about Kṛṣṇa, then Kṛṣṇa will help us. Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam, dadāmi buddhi-yogam ([[Vanisource:BG 10.10 (1972)|BG 10.10]]). He'll give intelligence. This is the process. Teṣām evānukampārtham aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ nāśayāmi ([[Vanisource:BG 10.11 (1972)|BG 10.11]]). These things are there.

Therefore if we want to abolish all unwanted things of life, simply we come to the spiritual platform. Because that is our aim. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. This human life is meant for spiritual understanding, not for any other purpose. Tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovidaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.5.18|SB 1.5.18]]), śāstra recommends. Only for spiritual understanding engage your activities. And what will be other things, about my family life, worldly life? That is said, that tal labhyate duḥkhavad anyataḥ sukham. Just like you don't aspire or don't wish for distressed condition; it comes upon you. Similarly, whatever happy condition in your life is expected, that will also come. You don't require . . .
