Everything is there in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': how you can love, what are the symptoms of love, how you can please God, how He can talk with you—everything is there. But you have to take advantage. We read ''Bhagavad-gītā'', but by reading ''Bhagavad-gītā'' I become a politician. So what kind of reading ''Bhagavad-gītā''? Politician is there, of course, but the real purpose of reading ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is to know Kṛṣṇa. If one is Kṛṣṇa . . . if one knows Kṛṣṇa, he knows everything. He knows politics, he knows economics, he knows science, he knows philosophy, he knows religion, he knows sociology—everything.

''Tasmin vijñāte sarvam etaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavanti'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3), that is the Vedic injunction. If you simply understand God, Kṛṣṇa, then everything will be revealed to you, because Kṛṣṇa said, ''buddhi-yogaṁ dadāmi tam'' ([[vanisource:BG 10.10 (1972)|BG 10.10]]). If Kṛṣṇa gives you intelligence from within, who can excel you? Nobody can excel. But Kṛṣṇa can give you intelligence provided you become a devotee, or lover of Kṛṣṇa. ''Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam'', ''buddhi-yogaṁ dadāmi tam''. And what is that ''buddhi-yoga''? What is the value of ''buddhi-yoga''? That ''buddhi-yoga'' or ''bhakti-yoga'', the value is ''yena mām upayānti te''. Such ''buddhi-yoga'', such intelligence, will get him back to home, back to Godhead. Not that by such intelligence he will go down to hell. That is material intelligence.

''Adānta-gobhir viśatāṁ tamisram'' ([[vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]). Everything is discussed in ''Bhāgavatam''. For the materialist person, ''adānta-gobhi. Adānta'' means unbridled, uncontrolled. ''Go'' means ''indriya'', or senses. Materialistic person, they cannot control their senses. They are servant of the senses, ''godāsa''. ''Go'' means ''indriya'', and ''dāsa'' means servant. So when you come to the position of controlling the senses, then you'll be ''gosvāmī''. That is ''gosvāmī''. ''Gosvāmī'' means controlling the senses, who has completely controlled the senses. ''Svāmī'' or ''gosvāmī''. ''Svāmī'' also means that, and ''gosvāmī'' also means the same thing.

Generally, ''adānta-gobhir viśatāṁ tamiśram.'' Uncontrolled senses, they are going. It is not that Kṛṣṇa is sending them. He is making his own path clear, either back to home, back to Godhead, or glide down to the darkest region of hell. Two things are there, and that opportunity is in the human form of life. You can select. Kṛṣṇa, as He inquired from Arjuna, whether "Your illusion has been dissipated now, after . . . (''kirtan'') . . . hearing ''Bhagavad-gītā'', now you can do whatever you like." So that "You can do whatever you like," that facility is always given to living entity by God. You can do whatever you like. It is not that we are . . . we are given no facilities to select, to make choice. We are given facilities and choice, everything to do.

So to select the path of hell and to select the path of back to home, back to Godhead, depends upon us. That is also explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ'', ''yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam. Tamo-dvāram, tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam'' ([[vanisource:SB 5.5.2|SB 5.5.2]]). ''Mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukte. Vimukte''. People, the modern educated society, they do not know what is ''vimukti''. They do not know. They know, but they do not know what is the ultimate ''vimukti''.

Just like scientists, they are trying to give us so many facilities by machine, by different processes. That is, means, that is also ''vimukti''. We are in some inconvenience, just like we are in inconvenience for transport, or scientist gives us some horseless carriage. That is also ''vimukti''. We feel inconvenienced for walking, so the scientist has given us the car. So every attempt is being made for ''vimukti'', for getting out of some inconvenient position. But they do not know ultimate ''vimukti''.

What is the ultimate ''vimukti''? Ultimate ''vimukti'' is to get freedom from birth, death, old age and disease. That is ultimate ''vimukti''. The modern scientists, they are giving us so many facilities to get out of some material difficulties, but that is temporary. That is not actually ''vimukti''. Actual ''vimukti'' is to get freedom from birth, death, old age and disease. That ''vimukti'' can be achieved from Kṛṣṇa: ''hariṁ vinā na mṛtiṁ taranti''.
