<div class="heading">If your heart is clean, then you can understand that "I am not this body. I am spirit soul. So what I am doing really for me? I am spirit soul. I am not this body. I am soaping over this body, but as I am, I am starving." This is going on. The material civilization means they are taking care of the body and no information of the soul which is within the body. This is material civilization. And our Krsna consciousness movement is not so much attention for the body, but full attention for the soul. This is Krsna consciousness, just opposite.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 6.1.10 -- Los Angeles, June 23, 1975|Lecture on SB 6.1.10 -- Los Angeles, June 23, 1975]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">In this age, Kali-yuga, the age of quarrel and fight and misunderstanding -- this is called Kali-yuga -- in this age this is the only means: hari-kirtanat. The sankirtana movement is hari-kirtana. Hari-kirtana... Kirtana means chanting about the glorification of the Lord, hari-kirtana. And this is also confirmed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam:</p>
:kaler dosa-nidhe rajan
:asti hy eko mahan gunah
:kirtanad eva krsnasya
:mukta-sangah param vrajet
:([[Vanisource:SB 12.3.51|SB 12.3.51]])
<p>So this is recommended, and similarly, about Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, there is statement in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, tvisakrsnam...</p>
:krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam
:sangopangastra-parsadam
:yajnaih sankirtana-prayair
:yajanti hi sumedhasah
:([[Vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]])
<p>Therefore our first duty is to worship Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We keep the Deity. In the first we offer our obeisances to Caitanya Mahaprabhu along with His associate, and then, Guru-Gauranga, then we offer Radha-Krsna or Jagannatha. So because this is the process of Kali-yuga, yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah, if you perform this sankirtana, simply this process, as many times as possible before Lord Caitanya, then your success is guaranteed. You don't require anything else. This is recommended: yajnaih sankirtanaih prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah.</p>
<p>So those who are intelligent, they catch up this easy method of self-realization. The more you chant, then the cleansing process of the heart goes on very nicely. Ceto-darpana-marjanam ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]]). This is recommended. Ceto-darp... This is the first, because our spiritual life does not begin unless ceto-darpana-marjanam, unless the mirror of the heart is cleansed. But this is the easiest process. If you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra in ecstasy, the first benefit will be that your heart will be cleansed. Then you can see what is your position, what you are, what is your business. If your heart is unclean, then... So that uncleanliness of heart cannot be cleansed by this process, atonement. That is not possible. Therefore... Pariksit Maharaja is very intelligent. He said, prayascittam atho apartham. Apa, apa means "negative," and artha means "meaning." "It has no meaning." He immediately rejects the prayascittam apartham. "What benefit will be there? He remains unclean. He does not cleanse his heart, core of heart." In the core of heart he has got all the dirty things: "How I shall cheat, how I shall make black market, how I shall enjoy senses, how I will go to prostitute and drink." These things are packed up. So simply by going to the temple or to the church and make some atonement, it will not benefit. One has to take seriously to this method, sankirtanam. Ceto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]]). The first installment is that you cleanse your heart. The next installment is bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam. If your heart is cleansed, then you can understand what is your position in this material world. And with a dirty heart, you cannot understand. If your heart is clean, then you can understand that "I am not this body. I am spirit soul. So what I am doing really for me? I am spirit soul. I am not this body. I am soaping over this body, but as I am, I am starving." This is going on. The material civilization means they are taking care of the body and no information of the soul which is within the body. This is material civilization. And our Krsna consciousness movement is not so much attention for the body, but full attention for the soul. This is Krsna consciousness, just opposite.</p>
<p>Therefore they cannot understand this movement. It is completely spiritual movement. It is not material movement. Therefore they sometimes mistake that "Your people are weak in health. They are becoming this and that. They do not eat meat, so vitality is less." Then "We are not concerned with the vitality. We are concerned with the spiritual life." Therefore they sometimes misunderstand. So anyway, people may understand or misunderstand -- it doesn't matter. You go on with your kirtana and make guarantee that there is no material life.</p>
