The jagad-guru is teaching, na jāyate mriyate vā (BG 2.20). It requires little intelligence that, "Kṛṣṇa, the jagad-guru, is teaching that living entity is never born and never dies. So why I am taking birth and I am dying?" This much intelligence they haven't got, because they do not take the instruction of the jagad-guru. He is describing, na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācit. Kadācit: at any time.

yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravinde
nava-nava-rasa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt
tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamān
ebhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca
(Śrī Yāmunācārya)

The Yāmunācārya said that, "Since I have dedicated my life to Kṛṣṇa and I am getting more and more happiness by serving Him, since then, whenever I think of sex life, oh, I spit on it." Because māyā cannot touch him. This is the test. Yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravinde. You haven't got to ask anybody, "Whether I am advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Will you give me certificate?" You can have your certificate by yourself, whether you have no more any desire for sex life. That's all. Not that he has become impotent. If required, he can give birth to hundreds of children, but he does not like it. That is. That is the certificate. And so long we'll have any such material desire, then Kṛṣṇa is so kind, He will give you chance to take birth again.

Therefore the aim should be . . . real happiness is apunar bhava-darśanam. Apunar bhava. This is going on. The jagad-guru is teaching, na jāyate mriyate vā (BG 2.20). It requires little intelligence that, "Kṛṣṇa, the jagad-guru, is teaching that living entity is never born and never dies. So why I am taking birth and I am dying?" This much intelligence they haven't got, because they do not take the instruction of the jagad-guru. He is describing, na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācit. Kadācit: at any time. Not that in the past he was dying. Kṛṣṇa says again, in the Second Chapter that, "All these soldiers and kings who have assembled there, so also you and Me, we existed in the past, we are existing now, and we shall continue to exist in the future." Therefore kadācit. Kadācit means "At any time." "Any time" means past, present and future. Time has got three factors. So at any time. Kadācit means at any time the living entity is never born, never dies. The . . . if this is the fact, why you do not think, "Then why I am dying? I must have to die. Death is as sure as anything."

So they have no even sense. They are so animalistic. Just like animal: he does not know that death can be avoided. So the animal civilization. This very question . . . in the Bhagavad-gītā, jagad-guru is teaching that try to understand this fact first of all.
