Prabhupāda: As we create sinful reaction of life by our body, by our words, by our intelligence, similarly, by our body, by our intelligence, by our work we can be elevated also. Just like we have engaged our body. What is that? In cleansing this temple. Cleansing. What is that verse?

<div class="quote_verse">
:śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-
:śṛṅgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau 
:(Śrī Śrī Gurv-aṣṭaka, 3)
</div>

śrī-vigraha. śrī-vigraha. This deity is called śrī-vigraha. Ārādhana: worshiping the śrī-vigraha. Decorating, cleansing the temple, tan-mandira-mārjanādau. So we can engage our bodily activities in that way. Similarly, deha-vāg: we can engage our words in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, in preaching Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, in reciting the book. That is vāg. And we can ask others to hear, deha-vāg; and buddhi, intelligence.

How to spread this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement? First of all you have to undergo the austerities. You must be purified, tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śamena. Then you have to engage your body, intelligence and words for spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. Dhīrā. Dharmajñāḥ. Dharmajñāḥ means one who is in knowledge of dharma, real religion. Dharma, adharma. So, dharma, real dharma, means to abide by the orders of God. But they do not know what is God. They do not know what is the order of God. Of course, there are scriptures, but we have to know. Dharmajñāḥ means to know, just like good citizen means he knows what are the laws of the state. That is good citizen. If you know the laws of the state and you do not drive your car against the order of the state—either is left or as is, somewhere it is left, somewhere it is right. Anyway . . . what is this in this country? Left or right? Left?

Devotee: Left.

Prabhupāda: Left. So if you know the laws of the state, then you cannot drive your car on the right side. Similarly, dharmajñāḥ means one should know what is the order of God. That is dharma.
