So Ṛṣabhadeva says, ''nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma yad indriya-prītaye'' ([[vanisource:SB 5.5.4|SB 5.5.4]]). Simply we have got this . . . this bodily concept of life means the senses. ''Indriyāṇi parā'' . . . the senses are very prominent. So simply for sense gratification we are acting so much sinfully that we are becoming implicated. ''Nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti na sādhu manye'' ([[vanisource:SB 5.5.4|SB 5.5.4]]): "This is not good." Why? "Now, ''yata ātmanaḥ'', the soul," ''ayam, ātmano 'yam asann api kleśada āsa dehaḥ'', "the ''ātmā'', the soul, has accepted this body on account of this ''vikarma'', on account of this ''vikarma''." Therefore people should be instructed to be expert in ''sukarma, sukṛti. Sukṛti''. That ''sukṛti'' is this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Sukṛti''. They should be instructed. ''Sukṛtivān. Catur-vidhā bhajante māṁ sukṛtinaḥ arjuna''. Unless one is sukṛtivān, he cannot take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore everyone should be instructed to become ''sukṛtivān, puṇyavān. Yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām.'' Unless one is free from all sinful activities, simply by acting piously . . . ''janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām, te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ'' ([[vanisource:BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]]). They can understand what is Kṛṣṇa and what is Kṛṣṇa worship. Others cannot do.

Therefore this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to make people free from all sinful activities. Then they will be happy. Because in the soul proper, it is pure. Just like you contaminate some disease, so you suffer. You have got fever, you have got some pain, so you have to go to the physician. He will give you some medicine to counteract the contamination. Then you become happy. Similarly, we are all part and parcel of God, Kṛṣṇa. Naturally we must be happy. ''Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt'' (''Vedānta-sūtra'' 1.1.12). This is our position, that we must be always ''ānandamaya'', jubilant. This is our position. Just like Kṛṣṇa is dancing—you have seen—similarly, our position is simply dancing with Kṛṣṇa and be happy. That is our position. But we have come to this material world to enjoy independently of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore we have been captured by the illusory energy.
