<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 5.5.1 -- Johannesburg, October 20, 1975|Lecture on SB 5.5.1 -- Johannesburg, October 20, 1975]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
We human being, we have got different enterprises, but what the enterprises have got the elephant in Africa? There are millions of elephants. Who is feeding them? And the ant also. There are trillions and millions of ant in your room. Who is feeding them? So we do not believe in God. That is our defect. Otherwise, if God is providing food for the lower animals, why not for us if we become God conscious?

So there is no reason. We shall get. But we have been habituated for economic development. Let us do it. It doesn't matter. But don't forget God. That is wanted. If you forget God, then you are no better than dog. This is the movement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, that we are reminding everyone that "Don't remain like lower animals. You have got this opportunity of human life. You go, accept little austerity." So what we are prescribing, austerity? Just like these European, American boys, they are under training. Our first business is to take declaration that the devotee will not indulge in illicit sex life, not meat-eating, no intoxication and no gambling. This is austerity. And chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. It is very easy. It is not very difficult. Just like these boys, girls, they are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, and they are undergoing the austerity. So they have not died, nor they are unhealthy. You can see, they are living, and they will live. But they have become purified. ''Tapo divyaṁ yena sattvaṁ śuddhyet ''([[vanisource:SB 5.5.1|SB 5.5.1]]). This is purifying our existence. 

Purifying existence means no more material body. ''Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya ''([[vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). These are the information we get, that if we purify our existence, our existential position, then the result will be that . . . ''tyaktvā deham''. We have to give up this body. The cats and dogs also will give up, and I'll also give up. That's a fact. But the cats and dogs, they'll get another material body. But if you purify your existentional position, then ''tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti ''([[vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]), you'll not to have . . . accept any more material body. You shall stay in your spiritual body. And when you stay in your spiritual body you become equal with God—''sac-cid-ānanda'': eternal, ''ānanda'', blissful, and full of knowledge. That is the human form of life . . . er, aim of human mission. Don't miss this. There is ample information. The practice is very easy. Anyone can do it.
