Just like we are also living entities, and the cockroaches are also living entities. Do you know where they are living? Within the commode. There are many germs, many worms, they are also living entities. They're . . . stool. There are worms in the stool. They're also living entities. So we can fall down up to that point even. Don't think that because we have got this beautiful body, nice situation, this is guarantee of any falldown. No. We can fall down any moment, in any species of life—there are 8,400,000 species of life, you should know it—and utilize this opportunity for opening the door of liberation. Mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ.
And in order to reach to that door of liberation, you have to associate with persons who are devotees of Lord, mahat-sevā.
- mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes
- tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam
- (SB 5.5.2)
Yoṣitām. If I simply avoid, myself, the process of sense gratification, but if I associate with persons who are addicted to sense gratification, then that is also very dangerous. That is also very dangerous, because saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ—my desires and my propensities will develop according to the association I make. A man is known by his company.
So this Kṛṣṇa conscious movement, this opening of different centers, is meant for giving association to the people in general for opening the door of liberation. That is a fact. You try to understand by all your arguments, reason and logic and inquiry. That is a fact, because we are presenting authorized thing.
