In this world of fools and rascals who do not know what is perfection, they are simply thinking, "So long I live, let me live very opulently, and let me dance like the dog. That is perfection." No. Perfection means you must stop birth, death, old age and disease.

So much in darkness that they do not know what is perfection. They think the death must be there. They have no . . . because they do not know how to stop death. They do not know. So in this world of fools and rascals who do not know what is perfection, they are simply thinking, "So long I live, let me live very opulently, and let me dance like the dog. That is perfection." No. Perfection means you must stop birth, death, old age and disease. That is perfection.

So out of many thousands of people, one is expert how to stop this imperfection.

:manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu
:kaścid yatati siddhaye
:yatatām api siddhānāṁ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]])
</div>

And out of many such persons who are actually trying for perfection, out of many thousands:

<div class="quote_verse">
:yatatām api siddhānāṁ
:kaścin vetti māṁ tattvatah 
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]])
</div>

Kṛṣṇa says: "One who has attained perfection, and out of many such people, many hundreds and thousands, one may know Me."Kaścin vetti māṁ tattvataḥ. Just see how to understand Kṛṣṇa is so difficult. That Kṛṣṇa is being delivered by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Take Kṛṣṇa, immediately. Chant, dance, and take Kṛṣṇa, and eat prasādam, and go home. Just see how much efficient this movement is. Immediate. Therefore it is called pratyakṣāvagamaṁ. Yes. Those who are chanting and dancing, they are realizing. Why? Because Kṛṣṇa Himself is delivering, "All right. Take Me. It is very difficult to understand Me by . . . you are so defective. But I give Myself to you. Come on." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Try to understand. Yes. Pratyakṣāvagamaṁ dharmyaṁ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.2 (1972)|BG 9.2]]). And it is not difficult; even a child can take. You see a small child, he is offering obeisances, he is dancing, he is offering flowers. This movement, just see: from the very beginning of life. Not only one child. We have got hundreds of children in Dallas, they are being trained up. They are being trained up. They are becoming godly from the very beginning of life.
