You cannot violate the laws of God. Any one of us, we know. Just like we, we eat . . . (Hindi aside) Eating is the law of God. Everyone should eat. But if you eat more, if you violate the law . . . you can eat whatever you require, little. But if you eat more, if you violate this law, then you'll be diseased, immediately. Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā (BG 7.14). As soon as you violate the laws of God, you'll be punished.
Therefore Sūta Gosvāmī says, munayaḥ sādhu pṛṣṭo 'haṁ bhavadbhir loka-maṅgalam (SB 1.2.5): "You have inquired about Kṛṣṇa. It is a very noble question." Sādhu. Sādhu means pious, noble. So if people simply inquire about Kṛṣṇa, what is Kṛṣṇa . . . just like we are preaching all over the world to arouse this inquisitiveness about Kṛṣṇa. And actually, that is happening.
Our Kṛṣṇa books, wherever we present . . . because this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is now spread all over the world, they are very much inquisitive to know about Kṛṣṇa. Our this Kṛṣṇa Trilogy is selling anywhere like hotcakes. They're inquisitive now to know about Kṛṣṇa. So this is very good sign. If you . . . if simply people try to inquire about Kṛṣṇa, day will come he will be liberated. Just like in Caitanya-caritāmṛta it is said, kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya, viśvāsa śabde . . .
Devotee: Śraddhā.
Prabhupāda:
- śraddhā-śabde viśvāsa kahe sudṛḍha niścaya
- kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya
- (CC Madhya 22.62)
Śraddhā, to advance in spiritual life, the beginning is śraddhā, faith. That is faith. Śraddhā . . . not exactly faith. Śraddhā means respectful: "Oh, it is nice." That is called śraddhā.
