So you have to require..., you have to acquire that knowledge how to understand the existence of God, Krsna, everywhere-inside and outside. So Kunti-devi says that "You are within and outside." Krsna is within, within your heart, and Krsna is outside also. Otherwise how this big cosmic manifestation is going on? Huh? Not only that; He is everywhere, even within the atom, anḍantara-stha-paramanu-cayan... Still we cannot understand where is Krsna. This is our misfortune. Duskrtinaḥ, mūḍhaḥ, they cannot understand. Why they cannot understand? That because they are duskrtinaḥ, always engaged in sinful activities. Who can see Krsna? Who is not sinful. Yesam tv anta-gatam papam [Bg 7.28], one who has finished his life of sinful activities, he can understand Krsna. Therefore it is our request to everyone: Please do not commit these four kinds of sinful activities-illicit sex, meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. This is the preliminary qualification to understand God. Especially one must not kill animals. The Bible also. Therefore it is said, "Thou shall not kill. You rascal, if you want to understand what is God, you must stop this killing art. Thou shall not kill." But these rascals will not understand. This is the mis..., misfortune. And therefore God is always covered to their eyes. (More...)
