Thought Of The Day

So our Krsna consciousness movement is trying to bring back the human society, because it is not possible to bring back the monkeys and cats and dogs to Krsna consciousness. That is not possible. So those who are of the dog's mentality, cat's mentality, monkey mentality, it is difficult for them. They have to change their mentality by sat-sanga. This is called sat-sanga. Just like you are hearing from the sastra, and we are speaking from the sastra. This is called sat-sanga. By sat-sanga, by real spiritual association, by talking with them, by mixing with them -- then we can learn about the unlimited potencies of Krsna. Then it becomes very pleasing to the heart and to the ear, by satam-prasangan. Otherwise it is not possible. If you go to a professional reciter, it will enter in this ear and go out this ear, that's all. Because there is no life; it is business. So you cannot do business with Krsna. Krsna is not agreeable to this proposal. He's master. You cannot utilize Him for your service. You must engage yourself to His service. That is wanted. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. Then if we be in that attitude, that "Krsna is my master; I must serve Krsna. I shall not take Krsna an instrument to become my servant..." That is not possible, although it is said that catur-vidha bhajante mam sukrtino 'rjuna: "Four kinds of men," sukrtina, "whose background is pious, they come to Krsna." One who is impious, he cannot come.
