Only Krishna consciousness liberates from rebirth; all other pursuits merely perpetuate the cycle of suffering.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: So they were not crying very loudly, but the grandfather inquired, "So why there is..., it appears there is some great suffering?" So my father's eldest brother, he inquired, "Is your mother dead?" I consider like that. No, no everything is all right. "So I am also dead." He died later on. Dr.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. He simply inquired, "I think your mother is dead." They said, "No, no." "No, I am also going to," and he died. Dr. Patel: How God's arrangement!
Prabhupāda: These things are not very wonderful. From spiritual point of view this has no meaning. This is worldly affection. It is worldly affection.
That is not very good asset for spiritual life. Āsakti. One has to give up āsakti. That is the process, renouncement. Voluntarily.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Our Vedic process is that at a certain age you must retire from family life. Voluntary, forceful, giving up association. Dr.
Patel: Even there is worship [indistinct].
Prabhupāda: Yes. So these are āsaktis. This husband and wife dying together, that means their āsakti is there. That āsakti will help him, that the wife will become a husband next life, and the husband will become wife next.
