Krishna Consciousness

Lecture : Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.19
August 22, 1972, Los Angeles

So to become Krsna conscious means immediately -- that is the test --
immediately he will become free from lust and greediness. If he's not
free from lust and greediness, he is making a show; he's not Krsna
conscious. This is the test. If one is actually advanced in Krsna
consciousness, then these two symptoms will be visible in his
character: no more lusty, no more greediness. He should be satisfied
with one wife or one husband. Why hankering after others? That is
lusty. That means it is not on the stage of Krsna consciousness; it is
in the material platform. These are the test. Therefore we advise our
students, "Voluntarily, you try or you become free from these things:
illicit sex, intoxication, meat-eating, and gambling." Because
indulging in these four things, you'll remain in darkness.
