We are trying to achieve so many riches or friends, fame, and beauty and knowledge. So many things we are trying, achievement. But as soon as you become properly situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness achievement, then you will think, "Oh, no achievement is better than this achievement." Yaṁ labdhvā cāparaṁ lābham. Aparam lābham means other kinds of achievement.

This real happiness . . . now, we are trying to be posted or to be situated in that position of real happiness by practice of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we shall gradually develop our intelligence, real intelligence. Then we shall naturally like to enjoy that spiritual happiness. And as we make progress and get taste of spiritual happiness, so proportionately we give up the taste of this material happiness. Bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra syāt ([[Vanisource:SB 11.2.42|SB 11.2.42]]).

Now, here it is stated, yaṁ labdhvā cāparaṁ lābhaṁ manyate nādhikaṁ tataḥ. If somebody, somehow or other, achieves or is promoted to that stage, then what is the result? Result is yaṁ labdhvā, "By achieving such stage of transcendental stage," cāparaṁ lābhaṁ manyate nā . . . "other achievements, they become insignificant." Here, we are trying to achieve so many things. We are trying to achieve so many riches or friends, fame, and beauty and knowledge. So many things we are trying, achievement.

But as soon as you become properly situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness achievement, then you will think, "Oh, no achievement is better than this achievement." Yaṁ labdhvā cāparaṁ lābham. Aparam lābham means other kinds of achievement. They will be considered as figs. It is so big, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that one who understands and have a little taste . . . svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt.

I am very glad to inform you a practical example. One of our student, he was put into very unfavorable condition, but he was not, I mean to say, at all disturbed, due to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Practical. Confident. And we are also not disturbed. We thought, "Oh, Kṛṣṇa is there. He will not be put into difficulty.
