become or life failure

So this is the position, mūḍhatvam, at least in this age. Rajas tamas. Mūḍhatvam, some of them are busy in ghora activities, and some of them are mūḍhas. Generally, they are mūḍhas. The so-called active persons, they are also mūḍhas. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita: na mam prapadyante mūḍhaḥ duskrtino naradhamaḥ [Bg 7.15]. So unless you come to Krsna consciousness, unless you become a pure devotee of Krsna, then our life is unsuccessful. It has begun since we have come to this material world. Under different influence we have come to this condition of santa, ghora, mūḍha. But we have to become above this condition-even above this santa condition. This conception that "I have become now brahminically qualified. I have got knowledge. I can see things," jnanam vijnanam astikyam, that is not sufficient. You have to stop your birth and death. This process you have to stop. Then your life is successful.    (More...)

And that can be easily done if you become Krsna conscious. Bhaja vasudevam. You have to become devotee of Vasudeva. Vasudeve bhagavati bhakti-yogaḥ prayojitaḥ [SB 1.2.7].

You have to become sudurlabhaḥ mahatma, not cheap mahatma. A cheap mahatma will not help you. You have to become real mahatma. What is real mahatma?    (More...)
