Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 The idea is that one has not only to understand little about God, but one has to live in God. Then his life will be successful. Not that "Yes, God is great, and I go weekly in the church or in the temple. I offer my respect." No, that will not make you liberated. You have to be very serious to understand your relationship with God and go back to Godhead. Then your life will be successful, not that simply by understanding little. No. That is the same position. Just like you cannot derive any benefit or you cannot sit down very nicely in a tottering ship, so if you keep your life always tottering... That tottering, that stage, or, I mean to say, what is called, tilting stage of life can be stopped only by devotional service, Krsna consciousness. Evam prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogatah [sB 1.2.20]. One has to make his life tranquil. How this is possible? By this Krsna consciousness. Otherwise, it is not possible. We have to disinfect us, counteract all result of sinful activities. >>> Ref.
