Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Everyone has got to give up this body. That's a fact. Even people do not know that after giving up this body I will have to accept another body, better or lower according to my karma. There is no such cultivation of knowledge. But these are the facts. They are . . . we have to change this body, as you are changing from babyhood to childhood, childhood to boyhood, then youthhood.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness training, is not to be promoted within this universe. Within the universe there are many planets to be . . . to be promoted. But these Kṛṣṇa conscious people, they want to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is their plan. And that is very easily possible, and it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā that:

janma karma me divyaṁ
yo jānāti tattvataḥ
(BG 4.9)

If you simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa, simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa you'll get that position. What is that? Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti. After . . . everyone has got to give up this body. That's a fact. Even people do not know that after giving up this body I will have to accept another body, better or lower according to my karma. There is no such cultivation of knowledge. But these are the facts. They are . . . we have to change this body, as you are changing from babyhood to childhood, childhood to boyhood, then youthhood. Similarly, after giving up this body I'll have to accept another body. Now the question is, "What kind of body I shall accept next?" This preparation is necessary.

So people are meant for this purpose, but due to this lust, kāma, and krodha, anger, they are being degraded. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is advising that control these two things, these two enemies, kāma, lust and, I mean to say, anger. Then you will be placed in the platform of goodness, and your life will be elevated. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so nice that you can transfer your lust into love for God. Everyone is lusty. Everyone is lusty. Man or woman, everyone is lusty. But if that lust can be converted to love of God, Kṛṣṇa, then your life is successful.
