It requires intelligence how to understand the existence of God. The Vedic information says, parāsya śaktiḥ . . . na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate: "He has nothing to do." Na tat-samaś cābhyadhikaś ca dṛśyate: "Nobody is better expert or craftsman than God." Adhika, sama: "neither equal to Him, nor greater than Him." Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate: "His energies are working in so many ways," svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca, "that it appears that he has got perfect knowledge and perfect workmanship." Everything is perfect. You see. Either a flower or anything, nature's product, it is perfectly done.
In this way you have to develop your God consciousness, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness. There are books. There are explanation. There are teachers. So the human life is meant for this purpose, to understand how God is working, what is God, even what is His name, where does He live, what is our relationship with Him, how things are being managed. These are . . . athāto brahma jijñāsā. Therefore the Vedānta-sūtra says that, "This life is simply meant for inquiring about the Supreme." That's all.
The animal cannot do it. So simply if I waste our time just like the animals . . . the animals' life is simply busy for four things: eating, sleeping, mating and defense. That's all. They do not know anything more than that. So human life, if we simply . . . of course, so long we have got this body, we have to be seeking after eating, sleeping, mating and defending. But not that we shall waste our time simply for these four things. There is a fifth platform, which is brahma-jijñāsā, inquiry about the Supreme. And there are information, prayer, I mean, perfect knowledge. If you want to consult, you want to take it, then your life will be perfect.
