Category:Neglecting Krsna Consciousness
Theme Analysis
The failure of modern civilization lies in its deliberate neglect of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. According to Śrīla Prabhupāda, the human form of life is uniquely designed for reviving our eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord. When society neglects to teach the science of bhakti-yoga, it reduces human beings to the status of animals, driven only by sense gratification. To ignore this vital spiritual education is not merely an oversight; it is an act of spiritual suicide, comparable to knowingly drinking poison. Due to a lack of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, bewildered souls engage in sinful activities or turn to the worship of demigods like goddess Kālī, which ultimately brings punishment rather than lasting relief.
A major reason people neglect this movement is their failure to understand its immense value. Because the devotees distribute this supreme knowledge freely, foolish individuals mistakenly minimize it, viewing it as a cheap, sectarian Hindu faith or a superficial fashion. However, Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not blind faith. It is a rigorous, universal science based on authorized śāstra and profound philosophical conclusions (siddhānta) as presented in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta. Those who are actually intelligent recognize it as the greatest welfare movement for all of human society.
Therefore, the practice of Kṛṣṇa consciousness must never be treated casually. Śrīla Prabhupāda warns that mundane business and material duties must always remain secondary to the basic routine work of spiritual practice. If a devotee becomes neglectful of their daily spiritual duties, they will inevitably fall down. Conversely, even a small amount of sincere practice yields eternal credit. For the atheists who completely neglect God consciousness to pursue fleeting attachments to country and society, their ultimate, inescapable realization of God will simply arrive in the terrifying form of death.
- The Ultimate Waste: Neglecting Kṛṣṇa consciousness reduces the invaluable human form of life to an animalistic existence focused purely on sense gratification.
- The Dangers of Apathy: Ignoring spiritual practice leads to bewilderment, sinful activities, and ultimately, encountering God only in the form of death.
- A Universal Science: Kṛṣṇa consciousness should not be neglected as a sectarian religion; it is the ultimate, scientifically proven welfare activity for the world.
- Strict Practice: Success requires treating the routine spiritual program as the highest priority, without allowing mundane business or negligence to cause a falldown.
