You should not be doubtful. You should accept. Because Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you should accept His word as it is. And because we are doubtful, we are presenting Kṛṣṇa in a different way. And there are so many commentators, so many svāmīs, they put Kṛṣṇa in a different way. But Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa. Law of identity.

So here it is clearly stated, daivī sampad vimokṣāya. If you do not develop your godly qualities, then there is no question of liberation. It is not a fashion, that you do anything nonsense and simply take as vedānta and talk while smoking, and you become liberated. It is not so easy. It is not so easy. You have to form your vedānta character, then you can understand this philosophy.

<div class="quote_verse">
:yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ
:janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām
:te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā
:bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]])
</div>

So those who come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are not ordinary persons, because Kṛṣṇa says personally who can come to Him: te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ. Dṛḍha-vrata means with firm conviction that simply by devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, simply by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, one becomes perfect in all respects. This is called faith. This is called faith. Yeṣāṁanta-gataṁ pāpaṁ janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām, te dvandva-moha-nirmuktāḥ. Duality.

Our position in this dual world is we are always doubtful. Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]), but we are doubtful. That is material influence. "How it is that simply by surrendering to Kṛṣṇa I become free from all material contamination or sinful activities, results?" Doubt. But actually, you should not be doubtful. You should accept. Because Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you should accept His word as it is. And because we are doubtful, we are presenting Kṛṣṇa in a different way. And there are so many commentators, so many svāmīs, they put Kṛṣṇa in a different way.

But Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa. Law of identity. You cannot comment on the Kṛṣṇa's personality. He says that, "I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya ([[Vanisource:BG 7.7 (1972)|BG 7.7]]): "There is no more superior authority than Me." We accept that. Then we can understand Bhagavad-gītā and take advantage of it, otherwise not possible.

And that requires daivī sampat, godly characteristics. So those godly characteristics are there. Either you practice yourself to come to the godly characteristics or there is simple method, if you take to devotional service, all the godly qualities automatically come. This is the process.

So in this age, to develop these godly qualities is very difficult. But if you take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness by the simple method, by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare, then automatically you develop all the godly qualities.
