If you do not follow the regulative principle, if you simply try to enjoy, exploit this material world, then you will be implicated. So in the beginning you may come in this material world as Brahmā, and gradually, by your propensities, you may glide down to become the insect of stool.

If you follow the Vedic knowledge, then you have come to this world for enjoyment, so your regulated enjoyment will satisfy your senses, at the same time, you will be able to go back to home, back to Godhead, again. But if you do not follow the regulative principle, if you simply try to enjoy, exploit this material world, then you will be implicated.

So in the beginning you may come in this material world as Brahmā, and gradually, by your propensities, you may glide down to become the insect of stool. That is . . . that responsibility is yours, ours. That is not God's responsibility. You can elevate yourself. Just like at the present moment we have got this human form of body. We can hear the instruction of God, and we can again elevate. That is possible. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:janma karma me divyaṁ
:yo jānāti tattvataḥ
:tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
:naiti mām eti kaunteya 
:([[Vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]])

Therefore, as we are representative of God, we are canvassing door to door, "Please become Kṛṣṇa conscious and make your life successful." That's all. Now it is up to you to take it or reject it. That is your business. Our business is to canvass.
