Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Anyone who has accepted this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, if he follows the principles, then he's surely going to home, back to home, back to Godhead. That is certain. But if you deviate, if you become attracted by māyā, that is your business.


Prabhupāda: So who is intelligent? And if you ask: What is the benefit by going to the planet, back to home, back to Godhead? So who is intelligent? If you ask what is the benefit in going to the planet, back home, back to Godhead. That is assured in the Bhagavad-gītā: mām upetya tu kaunteya duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam nāpnuvanti (BG 8.15). "If you come to Me, then you won't have to accept again this material body, which is full of miserable conditions. You will remain in your spiritual body."

So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant for, I mean to say, allowing, elevating all living entities... Of course, it is not for all. It is very difficult. But anyone who has accepted this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, if he follows the principles, then he's surely going to home, back to home, back to Godhead. That is certain. But if you deviate, if you become attracted by māyā, that is your business. But we are giving you information: This is the process, a simple process. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, be purified, be..., remain always liberated from material clutches, and tyaktvā dehaṁ. Mam upetya. Janma karma me divyam yo janati... If you simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa, then tyaktvā dehaṁ, after quitting this body, mām eti, "You'll come to Me."

So this is our philosophy. It is very simple. And everything is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. You try to realize and preach this cult for the benefit of the whole world. Then everyone will be happy.

Thank you very much.

Devotees: Jaya, all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
