So if we develop Kṛṣṇa consciousness, just the process of hearing—śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ (SB 1.2.17)—if we simply practice the process of hearing about Kṛṣṇa, then gradually the darkness of ignorance and passion will disappear. Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ (CC Antya 20.12, Śikṣāṣṭaka 1). We are suffering in this material life on account of these three modes of material nature, especially the modes of passion and ignorance. But here is the process how to get out of these modes of passion and ignorance especially. Also material goodness. Sometimes material goodness is also a cause of bondage. A person falsely thinks that, "Now I have become a Brāhmiṇ," or "I have got a sacred thread; therefore my business is finished. Now I can do anything. It doesn’t matter." That is also another bondage. You have to still advance. Even if you . . . the brāhmaṇas . . . actually, a Brāhmiṇ does not think like that, that "Because I have got this sacred thread, my business is finished." We offer the sacred thread, but don’t make your business finished there. There is further progressive life. After becoming Brāhmiṇ, one has to become a Vaiṣṇava.

-So if we develop Kṛṣṇa consciousness, just the process of hearing—śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.17|SB 1.2.17]])—if we simply practice the process of hearing about Kṛṣṇa, then gradually the darkness of ignorance and passion will disappear. Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12, Śikṣāṣṭaka 1]]). We are suffering in this material life on account of these three modes of material nature, especially the modes of passion and ignorance. But here is the process how to get out of these modes of passion and ignorance especially. Also material goodness. Sometimes material goodness is also a cause of bondage. A person falsely thinks that "Now I have become a brāhmaṇa," or "I have got a sacred thread; therefore my business is finished. Now I can do anything. It doesn’t matter." That is also another bondage. You have to still advance. Even if you… The brāhmaṇas… Actually, a brāhmaṇa does not think like that, that "Because I have got this sacred thread, my business is finished." We offer the sacred thread, but don’t make your business finished there. There is further progressive life. After becoming brāhmaṇa, one has to become a Vaiṣṇava.
