Krishna is more anxious for us than we are for Him; surrender alone frees us from sin and ignorance.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 9.2–3 — March 8, 1972, Calcutta 720308BG-CALCUTTA [47:38 Minutes] Bg-09.02–03_720308BG-CALCUTTA Prabhupāda: rāja-vidyā rāja-guhyaṁ pavitram idam uttamam... [Bg. 9.2] [aside:] Why not this fan?
Prabhupāda: ...pratyakṣāvagamaṁ dharmyaṁ su-sukhaṁ kartum avyayam [Bg. 9.2] This verse we have been discussing... [break] ...similarly, bhakti-yoga—direct connection with Kṛṣṇa—it is not open for everyone, neither everyone can take it. It is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, yeṣām anta-gatam pāpaṁ: one who is completely free from all sinful activities, pāpam. Anyone who is engaged in sinful activities, he cannot understand Kṛṣṇa, or God.
That is not possible. And these are the four principle of sinful activities: illicit sex life, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling. These are the four pillars of sinful activities. Why at the present moment people have become so godless?
Even big, big svāmīs and yogīs, all godless. Why? Because they are engaged in sinful activities. Kṛṣṇa, God, cannot be understood by sinful man.
That is not possible. But Kṛṣṇa is so kind, if one takes shelter of Kṛṣṇa, immediately he becomes free from all sinful activities. Things are there. A person in sinful activities cannot understand Kṛṣṇa.
But if anyone voluntarily surrenders himself to Kṛṣṇa, he immediately become free from all reaction of sinful activity. Now it is up to me to make my choice. Kṛṣṇa says..., Kṛṣṇa comes, therefore, because we are sinful, and at the same time we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is more anxious for us than we are anxious for Kṛṣṇa. This is the position.
Kṛṣṇa..., just like father. A spoiled child... The father is more anxious for the spoiled child, and the spoiled child does not care for the father. This is the position.
