Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Now that loving propensity can attain its perfection, and as soon as you reach that perfectional point, you become happy. This is the formula of happiness. Everyone is trying to become happy, peaceful. That peacefulness, that happiness can be attained only when you increase your attachment or love the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the meaning of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.

sa vai puṁsām paro dharmo
yato bhaktir adhokṣaje
ahaituky apratihatā
yayātmā suprasīdati
(SB 1.2.6)

If you want actually peace of your mind or your self, then you must learn how to love God. Because you are hankering to love the Supreme, but because you have not . . . no information of the Supreme, you are placing your love to your body, to your society, to your country, to your family, or if you haven't got anything to love, then you get a dog, cat, and you love it. The loving propensity is there. This is the psychology.

Now that loving propensity can attain its perfection, and as soon as you reach that perfectional point, you become happy. This is the formula of happiness. Everyone is trying to become happy, peaceful. That peacefulness, that happiness can be attained only when you increase your attachment or love the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the meaning of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. We are not teaching any kind of faith. There are many different types of faith, so . . . but unfortunately, maybe due to the slackness of this movement, of religious movement, people have lost all faith in religious movement. Maybe there are many reasons. But it cannot be left aside. You cannot give up. If you want actually peace of the mind, peace of your self, then you must try to love God. That is the only way. Sa vai puṁsām paro dharmo (SB 1.2.6).

So how to love Kṛṣṇa, or God, that is being instructed by Kṛṣṇa. Mayy āsakta. You have to increase your attachment for Kṛṣṇa. When I speak of Kṛṣṇa, you should take it "God," the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Supreme Personality of Godhead . . . if Supreme Personality of Godhead has got any suitable name, perfect name . . . God may have many thousands of names, but the most perfect name which we can give to the Supreme Personality of Godhead is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa means "All-attractive." God must be all-attractive. It is not that God is attractive for a certain class of men and not attractive for others.
