Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

Unless one comes to this position of inquisitiveness, whatever he is doing, it is all defeat for him. It is all defeat for him because he does not know what is his position. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is just to giving him the chance to understand himself, and it is very easy.

Bhāgavata says, parābhavas tāvad abodha-jāto yāvan na jijñāsata ātma-tattvam (SB 5.5.5). So long he does not inquire that, "What I am? What is my necessity? Why I am suffering?"—unless one comes to this position of inquisitiveness, whatever he is doing, it is all defeat for him. It is all defeat for him because he does not know what is his position. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is just to giving him the chance to understand himself, and it is very easy. It is very easy. As it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:

janma karma me divyam
yo jānāti tattvataḥ
tyaktva dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti . . .
(BG 4.9)

If you simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa—why Kṛṣṇa advents Himself, why does He come, why does He disappear, what are His activities, what is His philosophy—this is Kṛṣṇa. If you simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa, then the result will be tyaktva deham: after giving up this body, no more accepting. That is, you stop your janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi (BG 13.9). This is the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
