For the last two hundred, three hundred years, from India so many svāmīs, yogīs came. But because they missed Kṛṣṇa, it was all useless. And now this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, because we are making Kṛṣṇa as the center, you see practically, thousands of devotees. Successful.

So unless people accept this principle, that Kṛṣṇa center, their . . . all their plans will be futile. ''Moghāśā mogha-karmāṇo mogha-jñānā ''([[vanisource:BG 9.12 (1972)|BG 9.12]]), everything. You try the history. They are trying to do so many things, planning. In every country, there is a planning commission. But according to ''Bhagavad-gītā'', any plan you do, it is all rascaldom if it is without Kṛṣṇa. It will fail. History will . . . Take, for example, in our India: Mahātmā Gandhi made so many plans to get our independence. He was taking ''Bhagavad-gītā ''in his hand and publicly said that "I get solace from ''Bhagavad-gītā''." He was very fond of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. But unfortunately he could not make Kṛṣṇa as center. This is the unfortunate. Therefore whole plan failed. Gandhi wanted nonviolence—failed. Gandhi wanted Hindu-Muslim unity—failed. Why? Because he never said that Kṛṣṇa is the center. Find his lecture. He'll never say Kṛṣṇa. Missing. Kṛṣṇa is missing. Similarly, so many . . . One French professor has admitted, Aurobindo or Dr. Radhakrishnan, they have written ''Bhagavad-gītā'', annotation, so many others also, but Kṛṣṇa is missing. They're faulty. Kṛṣṇa is missing. Through ''Bhagavad-gītā'', they want to make the society Kṛṣṇa-less. That is their policy. So nothing has become . . . For the last two hundred, three hundred years, from India so many ''svāmīs'', ''yogīs ''came. But because they missed Kṛṣṇa, it was all useless. And now this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, because we are making Kṛṣṇa as the center, you see practically, thousands of devotees. Successful.

So that is a fact. If we don't make Kṛṣṇa the center, never mind the varieties of qualities are there . . . That will continue. It is everywhere, the varieties will be there. But if the Kṛṣṇa is the center, the varieties will be very nice bouquet, bunch of flower. And without Kṛṣṇa, it is all useless. So make Kṛṣṇa center. Then these varieties of ''guṇa'', mixture of ''guṇa'', that will not . . . ''Sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate ''([[vanisource:BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]]). This will not affect our spiritual position. Kṛṣṇa says: ''sa brahma-bhūyāya'', ''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati ''([[vanisource:BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]). So the aim is how to make people ''brahma-bhūtaḥ'', ''ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. ''Ahaṁ brahmāsmi ''does not mean that I have become Bhagavān, or God. No. I am not matter; I am spirit soul. That is ''ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. This is called Brahman realization. And when one is in Brahman realization, then that is the peaceful condition of life. ''Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā''.
