If you are actually serious, then come to the process, ādau śraddhā. Just like you are hearing me, kindly. It is called śraddhā. You have got little śraddhā. Next stage is sādhu-saṅga ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.83|CC Madhya 22.83]]). Those who are actually practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, just associate with them. Ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgo 'tha bhajana-kriyā ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 23.14-15|CC Madhya 23.14-15]]). Then, if you try to follow how they are . . . just like they are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma . . . if you follow the bhajana-kriyā, then anartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt. Anartha, unwanted things.

Just like these four things of sinful activities—illicit sex and intoxication, gambling and meat-eating—these are anartha. Anartha means it is not necessary at all. It is not that without meat-eating, we can(not) live. Thousands and thousands in India, eighty percent, they are strictly vegetarian. That does not mean they are dying. Here also, in Western countries, I have got thousands and thousands of disciples. They have given up all these things. That does not mean that they have become dead. No. It is anartha, unwanted.
