Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

If you are actually interested to get out of this entanglement of transmigration from one body to another . . . ei rūpe brahmāṇḍa brahmite kono bhāgyavān jīva (CC Madhya 19.151), Lord Caitanya says. We are wandering throughout the whole universe. That we do not know. We think that after finishing this body, everything is finished. But that is not the fact. Otherwise, why there are so many varieties of life? The varieties of life are because there are varieties of sinful activities.

So our first propaganda is to not only give one Kṛṣṇa consciousness, but also to stop this sinful activity. Just like when you are treated by physician, he gives you some medicine and also ask you some restriction: "Do not do this," "Do not eat this. Eat this."
