The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to give that highest, topmost position, that no more coming to this material world, either this planet or that planet. We may go to the moon planet, but that will not solve our real problem. The real problem is birth, death, old age and disease. Anywhere you go in the material planet, either by Sputniks or by your tapasya or by meditation, if you, ā-brahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ (BG 8.16), even if you go to the highest planet, there the four principles of material miseries are there.

We have to prepare where we want to go. That is real education. Either by the yogic principle or by cultivation of knowledge or by this devotional service, the whole idea is how to transfer oneself to the better condition of life. The better . . . the best condition of life is to mad-dhāma gatvā punar janma na vidyate (BG 8.16). "If anyone," Kṛṣṇa says: "If anyone comes to Me, he hasn't got to come back again to take this cycle of birth and death."

So the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to give that highest, topmost position, that no more coming to this material world, either this planet or that planet. We may go to the moon planet, but that will not solve our real problem. The real problem is birth, death, old age and disease. Anywhere you go in the material planet, either by Sputniks or by your tapasya or by meditation, if you, ā-brahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ (BG 8.16), even if you go to the highest planet, there the four principles of material miseries are there.

But if you go, mad-dhāma gatvā punar janma na vidyate. Mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām (BG 9.25). These are very nicely explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. You try to understand what is the problem of life.
