This Krsna consciousness movement is meant for this purpose, that these foolish persons or rascals, mudhah... I am not manufacturing the words "foolish" and "rascal." It is said by Krsna. Na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah (BG 7.15). He has spoken like that. You'll find.
Janmastami Lord Sri Krsna's Appearance Day -- Bhagavad-gita 7.5 Lecture -- Vrndavana, August 11, 1974:

That is the difference between Krsna and ordinary living be... He is complete; we are not complete. We are incomplete, fragmental portion of Krsna. Therefore we must be controlled by Krsna. If we do not agree to be controlled by Krsna, then we shall be controlled by the material energy, this bhumir apo 'nalo vayuh (BG 7.4). Actually, we are spiritual energy. We should voluntarily agree to be controlled by Krsna. That is devotional service. That is devotional service. We are spiritual energy, and Krsna is the Supreme Spirit. So if we agree to be controlled by Krsna, then we are promoted to the spiritual world. If we agree. Krsna does not interfere with your little independence. Yathecchasi tatha kuru (BG 18.63). Krsna say to Arjuna, "Whatever you like, you can do." That independence we have got.

So out of that independence we have come to this material world, to enjoy freely. So Krsna has given us freedom, "You can enjoy freely." And we are trying to do that. But the result is that we are becoming entangled. We are given the freedom to work in this material world. Everyone is trying to become the master of the material world. Nobody is trying to become the servant. Only we, the Vaisnavas, we are trying to become servant. The karmis and jnanis, they do not like to become servant. They criticize us that "You Vaisnavas, you have got slave mentality." Yes, we have got the slave menta... Caitanya Mahaprabhu has taught, gopi-bhartuh pada-kamalayor dasa-dasanudasah (CC Madhya 13.80). That is our position. What is the use of claiming artificially, "I am master"? If I had been master, then why the fan is required? I am servant of this influence of summer season. Similarly, I shall be servant in the winter season, too much cold.

So we are always servant. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (Cc. Madhya 20.108-109). Actual, our constitutional position is eternal servant of Krsna. Krsna is the supreme controller. This Krsna consciousness movement is meant for this purpose, that these foolish persons or rascals, mudhah... I am not manufacturing the words "foolish" and "rascal." It is said by Krsna. Na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah (BG 7.15). He has spoken like that. You'll find. Duskrtinah, always acting sinfully, and mudhah, and rascals, ass. Naradhamah, lowest of the mankind. "Oh, you are...? Krsna, You are speaking so much ill of these materialist scientists? There are so many philosophers. They're all naradhamah?" "Yes, they are naradhamah." "But they are educated." "Yes, that is also..." But what kind of education? Mayaya apahrta-jnanah: "The result of their education -- knowledge has been taken away by maya." The more one is educated, the more one is atheist.

At the present moment... Of course, education does not mean... Education means to understand. Jnani. Educate, educated means wise man, educated man, jnani. The actual jnani means mam prapadyate. Bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate (BG 7.19). That is education. The education does not mean to become atheist, "There is no God. I am God, you are God, everyone is God." This is not education. This is ajnana. The Mayavadis, they think that they have become one with God. That is not education.
