True auspiciousness and fearlessness come only through Krishna consciousness and surrender to God's laws.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Sixth Canto, Chapter Three, verse number eighteen. [leads devotees in chanting] prāyaścittāni cīrṇāni nārāyaṇa-parāṅmukham na niṣpunanti rājendra surā-kumbham ivāpagāḥ [SB 6.1.18] [01:28] So bhakti-yoga, devotional service, is so powerful that simply by taking to the bhakti-yoga according to the rules and regulation one is supposed to be purified. Yesterday we have discussed, sadhrīcīno hy ayaṁ loke panthāḥ kṣemo 'kuto-bhayaḥ [SB 6.1.17]. First of all we are so ignorant that we do not know what is the aim of life.
The modern education, modern civilization, they are so much misled that they do not know what is the aim of... Ask, ask anybody, very learned scholar, scientist, philosopher, or medical man, engineer, lawyer, that "What is the aim of life?" Nobody knows. They think aim of life—eat, drink, be merry and enjoy, that's all. This is aim of life.
So that is not the aim of life. That eat, drink, be merry and enjoy, that is being done by the cats and dogs and hogs. So do you mean to say that this human form of life is also meant for that purpose? No.
Human life is meant for understanding, "What I am? What is God? What is relationship with God? Why I am here in this material world?
Why I am suffering?" These are the questions for human life. Eating, sleeping, mating, that is wanted because we have got this body. So suppose there is car and a driver. So the petrol and grease, these things are required for the car.
But you cannot eat petrol and grease and live. That is not possible. You have to eat something else. So we are thinking that the bodily necessities, petrol and grease, is my food[?].
That is a mistake. So therefore they do not know what is the aim of life, and the nature's law is, unless you come to the point of understanding what is the aim of life, the nature will go on punishing you in so many ways. Little mistake, you'll be punished. Daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā [Bg 7.14]. We have come to this material world, disobeying the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
