Not eternal; without any tracing of history . . . when my this spool of fruitive activities has begun we do not know. The result is that I'm simply transmigrating from one body to another. If this is stopped now, now if I get in my next body my eternal life, eternal knowledge and eternal bliss, why I shall not accept this? Kovida. Any intelligent man, why he shall not accept this process?

What is the benefit of this process? The benefit of this process is karma-granthi-nibandhanam. Karma-granthi-nibandhanaṁ chindanti. Chindanti means cut off. What is that, cut off? There is a knot of our activities. Without performing this ceremony, or without following these instruction to hear, chant, think and worship, we cannot be out of the great knot of our material activities.

So long we are engaged in material activities, you are just acting one after another just like film spool. We have seen film—one picture after another, one picture, one picture, one . . . there are hundreds and thousand and millions of picture. Similarly, for my past activities I am now in this picture.

So my present activity is making another picture forward. Just like in my past activities I created this body. Similarly, by my present activity also I am creating my next body. So this transmigration of soul is going on. But if you adopt this process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then karma-granthi-nibandhanaṁ chindanti. This knot, one after another, this will be cut off.

So if it is so nice . . . Bhāgavata says yad-anudhyāsinā. Simply by following this procedure, yad-anudhyāsinā yuktāḥ, being engaged, karma-bandha-nibandhanam, the spool of the result of our activities one after another, chindanti, is cut off. Kovidāḥ, if an intelligent man is there, tasya ko na kuryāt kathā-ratim. Why an intelligent man should not engage himself in hearing about the topics of Kṛṣṇa? Is there any difficulty? If by this simple process you can cut off the eternal . . .

Not eternal; without any tracing of history . . . when my this spool of fruitive activities has begun we do not know. The result is that I'm simply transmigrating from one body to another. If this is stopped now, now if I get in my next body my eternal life, eternal knowledge and eternal bliss, why I shall not accept this? Kovida. Any intelligent man, why he shall not accept this process?

Karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhājām. There is a very nice verse in the Brahma-saṁhitā. It is said there that:

yas tv indra-gopam athavendram aho sva-karma-
bandhānurūpa-phala-bhājanam ātanoti
karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhājāṁ
govindam adi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
(Bs. 5.54)

"I worship, I offer my respectful obeisances unto Govinda." Why? "Because He cuts off my entanglement in these material activities." He cuts off.
