Category:For Want of Krsna Consciousness
Theme Analysis
The fundamental crisis facing the entire universe is not a lack of economic development, technological advancement, or political organization. The singular, root cause of all material suffering is the want of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. For want of this transcendental knowledge, the living entity is put into unnecessary trouble, perpetually embarrassed by the cycle of birth, death, old age, and disease. Despite possessing vast material opulences and good hearts, modern societies remain deeply confused and frustrated because they lack the one essential ingredient for true peace: an active, loving relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
This spiritual void leads directly to the madness and severe mismanagement of modern civilization. When society is devoid of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, people falsely claim ownership over God's property, acting as thieves and rogues while hypocritically demanding world peace. Even the most highly educated persons behave worse than animals, completely neglecting the severe consequences of their actions in their next lives. Victim to atheism and Māyāvāda philosophy, the conditioned souls become madmen, engaging in sinful, destructive activities solely for the temporary gratification of their senses. Without the protective shelter of devotional service, even those occupying the highest material or administrative positions will inevitably fall down from their standard of life.
Therefore, the greatest welfare activity in human society is the worldwide distribution of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The genuine mercy of a pure devotee is to awaken the slumbering souls from their millions of years of suffering and elevate them to the highest standard of mankind. Since the mission of human life is failing globally due to this spiritual ignorance, the most urgent duty of every sane person is to enthusiastically preach the message of the Bhagavad-gītā. By spreading this sublime knowledge without distinction of caste, creed, or color, the pure devotees actively mitigate the suffering of humanity, offering the only perfect, permanent solution to a desperate and suffering world.
