\nA person in Krsna consciousness certainly sees Lord Krsna everywhere, and
\nhe sees everything in Krsna. Such a person may appear to see all separate
\nmanifestations of the material nature, but in each and every instance he is
\nconscious of Krsna, knowing that everything is the manifestation of Krsna’s
\nenergy. Nothing can exist without Krsna, and Krsna is the Lord of
\neverything\u2014this is the basic principle of Krsna consciousness.<\/p>\n

Or we just have to glance through the Srimad Bhagavad second canto , \u201cfirst
\nstep in God realisation\u201d, and we get the connection.<\/p>\n

So the organisers invited us to Parliament Square with tens of thousands of
\nyoung conscientious school children, teenagers and teachers. Our
\ngeneration had failed to impress the politicians and decision makers, but
\nhere were the next generation of people who felt they wanted to make a
\ndifference to the world and the media was taking them seriously.<\/p>\n

Chapter 14: The Three Modes of Material Nature

\nTRANSLATION
\n
\n>From the mode of goodness, real knowledge develops; from the mode of
\npassion, grief develops; and from the mode of ignorance, foolishness,
\nmadness and illusion develop.
\n
\nPURPORT
\n
\nSince the present civilization is not very congenial to the living
\nentities, Krsna consciousness is recommended. Through Krsna consciousness,
\nsociety will develop the mode of goodness. When the mode of goodness is
\ndeveloped, people will see things as they are. In the mode of ignorance,
\npeople are just like animals and cannot see things clearly. In the mode of
\nignorance, for example, they do not see that by killing one animal they are
\ntaking a chance of being killed by the same animal in the next life.
\nBecause people have no education in actual knowledge, they become
\nirresponsible. To stop this irresponsibility, education for developing the
\nmode of goodness of the people in general must be there. When they are
\nactually educated in the mode of goodness, they will become sober, in full
\nknowledge of things as they are. Then people will be happy and prosperous.<\/p>\n

Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai!
\nKrishna Prasad ki Jai!<\/p>\n
