Just see how material entanglement, this body. At any moment, at any moment you can be finished. You cannot be finished, but your all activities is.
So therefore we should be very careful, because we have to pull on with this body. Because unless you are perfectly in understanding of Kṛṣṇa, there is no release from this body. It is not that, "I want to get release myself from this body, therefore I cut my throat and I get release." No. That is not possible. You have to be completely detached from this body, and that can be possible when you come . . . when you understand at least something about Kṛṣṇa.
You cannot know Kṛṣṇa completely. That is not possible. He is unlimited. But even a little knowledge of Kṛṣṇa, preliminary knowledge of Kṛṣṇa, will make you liberated from this material entanglement. Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt (BG 2.40).
So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness is so valuable that even little progress will make you liberated from this material entanglement. He is citing another nice verse from Padma Purāṇa. There are eighteen Purāṇas. Out of that, this Padma Purāṇa is one of the most important Purāṇas.
- vyāmohāya carācarasya jagatas te purāṇāgamās
- tāṁ tām eva hi devatāṁ paramikāṁ jalpantu kalpāvadhi
- siddhānte punar eka eva bhagavān viṣṇuḥ samastāgama-
- vyāpāreṣu vivecana-vyatikaraṁ nīteṣu niścīyate
- (CC Madhya 20.145)
In different Purāṇas . . . these Purāṇas are made just to complete Vedic knowledge, or supplementary addition to the Vedic literature. Because Vedic literature is very difficult to understand, therefore they have been expanded by the Purāṇas for different classes of men.
