So it is very, I mean to say, sincere to avoid the company of asādhu. But at the present moment it is very difficult to find out the association of sādhu. Therefore our teeny effort is, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, to create an association of the sādhus so people may take advantage of this association, and then his life becomes liberated. And that is the aim and object of this association. It has no other object. People may say so many nonsense things, but our only object is that, as . . . therefore we have given the name "Association of Kṛṣṇa conscious person." Kṛṣṇa conscious means sādhu.

God does not take as the supervision personally. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8, [[Vanisource:CC Madhya 13.65|CC Madhya 13.65, purport]]). Na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate—in the Vedas, Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad. He hasn't got to do personally, but He has got so many agents to do. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate. He has got so ma . . . they will do. You are not free even to twinkle with your eyelids. That is also being controlled. That information . . . you are moving this hand very freely. It can be immediately paralyzed. I am claiming that, "I . . . it is my hand." What is your hand? It can be stopped immediately. Your eyes, it can be stopped.

So we must know that we are conditioned. So this is conditioned life. How you can improve conditioned life? Therefore our business is how to become liberated from all this condition. And that can be done only by sa eva sādhuṣu kṛto mokṣa-dvāram apāvṛtam. If you . . . you have got so many attachment for so many things. If you turn all this attachment to a sādhu . . . sādhu-saṅga sādhu-saṅga sarva-śāstre kaya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu advised, sādhu-saṅga sādhu-saṅga sarva-śāstre kaya ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.54|CC Madhya 22.54]]). In all the śāstras they advise that to associate with the sādhu. Tasmad . . . (indistinct) . . . utsṛjya bhaja sādhu-samāgamam. Even Cāṇakya Paṇḍita, a great politician . . . bhaja sādhu-samāgamam. Asat-saṅga-tyāga ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.87|CC Madhya 22.87]]). One gṛhastha Vaiṣṇava, householder Vaiṣṇava, he asked Caitanya Mahāprabhu that, "What is the duty of a gṛhastha, householder Vaiṣṇava?" So Caitanya Mahāprabhu said in two lines: asat-saṅga-tyāga ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra. "Don't associate with nonsense asādhus." Asat-saṅga-tyāga ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra. One line. A Vaiṣṇava's behavior is to give up the association of demons, nondevotee. Because sādhu means devotee. Sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.30 (1972)|BG 9.30]]).

So it is very, I mean to say, sincere to avoid the company of asādhu. But at the present moment it is very difficult to find out the association of sādhu. Therefore our teeny effort is, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, to create an association of the sādhus so people may take advantage of this association, and then his life becomes liberated. And that is the aim and object of this association. It has no other object. People may say so many nonsense things, but our only object is that, as . . . therefore we have given the name "Association of Kṛṣṇa conscious person." Kṛṣṇa conscious means sādhu.
