Lecture on SB 3.25.24 -- Bombay, November 24, 1974:

We repeatedly say that we are trying to create some sādhu so that in different parts of the world they will preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and people will be able to associate with them, and they will become purified. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, that sādhu-saṅga. It is very essential. People are suffering on account of being contaminated by the tamo-guṇa and rajo-guṇa, becoming entangled simply by lusty desires always, just like cats and dogs. So they are becoming more and more entangled. Unfortunately, they do not know that there is life after death, but they do not know what kind of life is going to happen next after death. They are blind, andha. Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ (SB 7.5.31). The leaders are also blind.>>> ... <<<and leading="" them.="" blind.="" especially="" age,="" society="" great="" danger.="" care="" what="" next.="" next="" life.="" it,="" information,="" kṛṣṇa:="" tathā="" (="">bg="" 2.13).="" dehāntara-prāptiḥ="" is.="" deny="" it?="" authority="" experience="" also.="" having="" dehāntara="" childhood,="" childhood="" boyhood,="" boyhood="" youthhood.="" way,="" changed="" many="" bodies,="" called="" after="" death,="" reasonable,="" but="" do="" believe="" it.="" position,="" human="" life="" opportunity="" dehāntara.="" stop="" dehāntara,="" main="" business.="" done?="" understanding="" kṛṣṇa.="" how="" understand="" kṛṣṇa?="" by="" association="" devotees.="" very="" difficult.="" Ādau="" śraddhā="" tataḥ="" sādhu-saṅgaḥ="" (cc.="" 23.14-15).="" rūpa="" gosvāmī="" says.="" get="" faith,="" now="" shall="" free="" from="" attachment,="" then,="" advised="" here,="" sa="" eva="" sādhuṣu="" kṛtaḥ.="" material="" enjoyment—similar="" should="" sādhu,="" s="" all.="" suppose="" want="" drink.="" i="" getting="" any="" similarly,="" when="" mad="" without="" sādhu-saṅga="" (cc="" madhya="" 22.83),="" then="" liberated.="" simply="" divert="" attachment.="" not="" speak="" drinking,="" even="" those="" who="" are="" smoker,="" cannot="" smoke="" one="" hour,="" his="" throat="" becomes="" dried="" up,="" give="" me="" biḍi.="" have="" got="" biḍi,="" similar="" attachment="" for="" liberation.="" tat="" kṛtaḥ="" sādhuṣu.="" to="" learned.="" learn="" sādhu-saṅga,="" you="" mix="" with="" sādhus.="" therefore="" our="" if="" we="" can="" create="" some="" sādhu="" distribute="" themself="" all="" over="" world...="" as="" caitanya="" mahāprabhu="" says,="" :pṛthivīte="" āche="" yata="" nagarādi="" grāma="" :sarvatra="" pracāra="" haibe="" mora="" nāma="" he="" wants="" in="" village,="" every="" town="" whole="" world,="" there="" may="" be="" a="" center="" consciousness="" so="" that="" people="" take="" advantage="" it="" and="" they="" will="" also="" become="" sādhu.="" this="" is="" the="" mission="" of="" kṛṣṇa="" consciousness.=""></and>
