Whoever does not do all this remains impure and will fail. It is absolutely necessary to elevate oneself to the level of Krishna consciousness to become truly pure.

Krishna consciousness purifies the intelligence, the mind, and the senses. Thus purified, there is little chance of their being used anywhere other than in God consciousness.

The Eternal Sovereign, Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality, gives us this wise and wonderful advice: Be holy, as I Myself am holy.

Jesus also gives us the same sublime advice: Since He who called you is holy, you too must be holy in all your conduct.

Jesus adds: If you only greet your brothers, what are you doing that is extraordinary? Do not even the pagans do the same?

Be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.

Can one escape alone, without the Lord's help?

Why does God allow the soul to wander in the material universe?

All those who reject God, challenge His authority, envy Him, and have a corporeal conception of existence must endure the cycle of successive reincarnations and thus experience the tribulations of rebirth, illness, old age, and repeated death.

The Lord allows the soul that wants to wander to slide to the lowest point of existence, for the sole purpose of giving it the opportunity to judge for itself whether it can do without God and whether or not it can be happy by thus misusing its independence. Most incarnate souls conditioned by matter who languish in the material universe misuse their independence, so much so that they all sink into illusion and suffer life after life. Because all human beings have a bodily conception of existence based on sense pleasure and lust as their major poison, they will suffer endlessly from life to life. Under these conditions, there can be neither peace nor prosperity on earth, but only aggression, violence, and war.

The embodied spiritual being is a tiny fragment, an infinitesimal particle, an integral part of the divine person of Krishna, and their eternal duty is to serve God with love and devotion. Each of us is, in truth, an eternal spirit soul.

Knowing this truth allows us to understand that without the Lord's mercy we can do nothing, nor achieve anything, because Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, activates our senses and our mind, and as He is the supreme eternal life, He has also granted us eternal life within us. Without Krishna, we are nothing, for we are fixed souls. Everything we do, we owe to God. Thus, it is because God moves, sees, hears, smells, feels, and touches first, that thanks to Him we can do the same.
