godless

Imported quote 13294 When human society individually or collectively becomes godless and blasphemes the authority of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it is certainly destined for ruination. Such a civilization invites all kinds of bad fortune due to not appreciating the mercy of the Lord.
(More...) Imported quote 13527 The perfection of one's execution of his appointed duties is the ultimate satisfaction of the Supreme Lord. The word kama-sandohaḥ means "achievement of the desired result." Everyone desires to achieve the ultimate goal of life, but in modern civilization the great scientists think that man's life has no plan. This gross ignorance is very dangerous and makes civilization very risky. People do not know the laws of nature, which are the rulings of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because they are atheists of the first order, they have no faith in the existence of God and His rulings and therefore do not know how nature is working. This gross ignorance of the mass of people, including even the so-called scientists and philosophers, makes life a risky situation in which human beings do not know whether they are making progress in life. According to Srimad-Bhagavatam, they are simply progressing to the darkest region of material existence. Adanta-gobhir visatam tamisram (Bhag. 7.5.30). The Krsna consciousness movement has therefore been started to give philosophers, scientists and people in general the proper knowledge about the destiny of life. Everyone should take advantage of this movement and learn the real goal of life.
(More...) Imported quote 18591 These varieties are for deriving pleasure, pleasure potency, hladini-sakti. The Radharani is hladini-sakti. Radha krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini-saktir asmat. This is the display of Krsna's pleasure potency. So this pleasure potency is there. So how? Then pleasure potency, we can enjoy in cooperation with Krsna, in conjunction with Krsna. The same thing: just like this body, the finger. The finger is part of the body. The finger can enjoy pleasure so long attached with the body. If the finger is cut off from the body, there is no more pleasure. Similarly, we are also part and parcel of Krsna. Because we are now detached from Krsna, therefore our position is, manaḥ sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg 15.7]. Detached from Krsna, we are in this prakrti, material nature, and our business is struggle for existence for the same pleasure, which is never obtainable in this material world. Therefore the intelligence is that we should again go back to home, go back to Krsna, and dance with Him in His rasa dance. That will be our pleasure.
