Category:Wanting Krsna Consciousness
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that the material world is suffering deeply for want of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Without this spiritual vision, humanity remains in the darkness of sinful life, divided by national borders and victimized by impersonal philosophies. However, for one who awakens to this supreme necessity, the mere sincere desire to become Kṛṣṇa conscious is a transcendental state of its own. Śrīla Prabhupāda compares the initial desire and the mature realization to a green mango and a ripe mango; they are the same in essence, only differing in maturity. A pure devotee, having experienced the relief that comes from devotional service, naturally develops an intense desire to share this gift with others, establishing ideal communities and preaching the science of God to dispel the darkness of the modern age.
- The Darkness of Material Existence: Without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the world is covered by the four principles of sinful life. A society lacking this spiritual vision creates boundaries of fear and bogus systems of education.
- The Compassion to Preach: Recognizing that devotional service relieves all material problems, a Vaiṣṇava develops a strong desire to spread the missionary work of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu despite any demonic opposition.
- Establishing Ideal Centers: To counteract a dry and one-sided presentation of religion, there is a deep need to establish ideal families, schools, and communities that can serve as perfect examples of a Kṛṣṇa conscious lifestyle.
- The Power of Sincere Hankering: Wanting to become Kṛṣṇa conscious is absolute; therefore, it is spiritually identical to being fully realized. By applying enthusiasm to this spiritual desire, the practitioner's natural happiness awakens.
