Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Kṛṣṇa said that "One who does not take care of My instruction," aśraddadhānāḥ, "no faith . . ." Aśraddadhānāḥ puruṣāḥ (BG 9.3). Puruṣa means any man, any human being, living being, but a human being, because otherwise who will hear Kṛṣṇa? The cats and dogs will not hear. That is not possible. They have no capacity. But you are all human being. Either you are Australian or Indian or American or . . . you can hear Bhagavad-gītā. There is no doubt about it. It is a question of explaining in your language. So we are trying to do that. The Bhagavad-gītā, the message of Bhagavad-gītā, is not sectarian. Don't take it like that. It is science how to make the whole human society peaceful and happy. It doesn't matter whether you are Australian, American, Indian or African. And practically we see—we have got branches all over the world—those who have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are happy. So take it very seriously. Don't neglect it, that "It is a sectarian religion of the Hindus or . . ." No.

Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā that, (child cries in the background) sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayo yāḥ (BG 14.4): in every forms of life, as many living entities are there. I have explained, there are different forms of life. Even within the water there are 900,000 forms of life. This is Vedic knowledge. You can take directly knowledge. You can understand. You do not require to dive into the water and make study, aquatic research work. You take the knowledge from the Vedic literature, you'll immediately understand that there are 900,000 species of life. This is different forms. The living entity, soul, is everywhere. But according to his karma . . . just like nowadays people are very much fond of diving within the water and swim. This has become a fashion. So next life they are going to become fish. (laughter) Yes.
