Now, to purify our existence. This present existence is not purified; therefore we have to meet death. Otherwise we are eternal, "Why should we meet death?" This question does not arise at all. The modern civilization, they do not care for death. This is another daring. Death . . . they never question that, "We are eternal." Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre (BG 2.20). "Why I shall meet death?" But this question does not arise for . . . they think, "Death? We can finish everything." This is called mūḍha. They do not know things are there, what it should be. They do not know that.
So in order to know all this transcendental subject matter, it is recommended, tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet (MU 1.2.12): "One must approach to the proper guru to understand this subject matter." And that is success of human life. Otherwise, to live like cats and dogs—sa eva go-kharaḥ (SB 10.84.13), cows and asses, animal life—this is not civilization. So our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is an attempt, however small it may be, to bring back the human society to real civilization. It is not ordinary movement.
