Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

To understand Kṛṣṇa is not very easy task. Kṛṣṇa says, manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu: "Out of millions and millions persons, kaścid, someone may try to make his life successful, human life." Kaścid yatati siddhaye.

One who is Kṛṣṇa conscious, he knows what is the name of his original father, what does He do, where He lives, what is His personal feature, what is His pastime—everything. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says here, asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ mām yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu (BG 7.1). Everyone is anxious to know, at least intelligent men, what is God, what is our relationship with Him, how He looks, where He lives. These are naturally inquisitiveness of any sane man. So here in the Bhagavad-gītā the Personality of Godhead Himself speaks about Himself. We have to simply accept it, that's all. You haven't got to make any research where is God, what is God, where does He live, what does He do. Here is everything.

So unfortunately, God is canvassing Himself personally, and still we are unaware of Him. Why? Because there is one verse which you will see in Caitanya-caritāmṛta. Caitanya-caritāmṛta . . . here, two honorable Justices are present, and I can recite that verse. It is in Bengali. It is said there caitanya-dayā katha karaha vicāra (CC Adi 8.15). The author is placing the quality of mercy as given by Caitanya Mahāprabhu to the judgement of the public. Caitanya-dayā katha karaha vicāra. It is not something we have accepted blindly, as faith. No. It is a fact. It is a science. It is an authority. Therefore we place before the Justices for judgement:

caitanya-dayā katha karaha vicāra
vicāra karite citte pābe camatkāra
(CC Adi 8.15)

If you wait for the judgement, then when you hear the judgement you will find, "Ah," a great ecstasy you will enjoy yourself. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If you kindly try to understand the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement with cool head, I mean, I mean to say right judgement, you will find ecstasy. Otherwise Kṛṣṇa . . . to understand Kṛṣṇa is very difficult. Kṛṣṇa says Himself:

manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu
kaścid yatati siddhaye
yatatām api siddhānāṁ
kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ
(BG 7.3)

To understand Kṛṣṇa is not very easy task. Kṛṣṇa says, manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu: "Out of millions and millions persons, kaścid, someone may try to make his life successful, human life." Kaścid yatati siddhaye.

This human form of life is especially meant for God realization, not for any other business. But people do not try for it. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is said, nāyaṁ deho deha-bhājāṁ nṛ-loke kaṣṭān kāmān arhate viḍ-bhujāṁ ye (SB 5.5.1), that we should not, especially this human form of body . . . there are 8,400,000 forms of body—cats, dogs, trees, plants, insects—so many. So this form of life, human form of life, it is warned that nāyaṁ dehaḥ, nṛ-loke, which is . . . which you are born in the human society.
