Բիդուշարժայն   As   It   Is
[Ch 9]
Krṣṇa consciousness may fall down, but when one is in the second class or first class, he does not fall down. One in the first class will surely make progress and achieve the result at the end. As far as the third-class person in Krṣṇa consciousness is concerned, although he has faith in the conviction that devotional service to Krṣṇa is very good, he has no knowledge of Krṣṇa through the scriptures like  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  and  Bhagavad-gītā . Sometimes these third-class persons in Krṣṇa consciousness have some tendency toward  karma-yoga  and  jñāna-yoga , and sometimes they are disturbed, but as soon as the infection of  karma-yoga  or  jñāna-yoga  is vanquished, they become second-class or first-class persons in Krṣṇa consciousness. Faith in Krṣṇa is also divided into three stages and described in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam . First-class attachment, second-class attachment, and third-class attachment are also explained in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  in the Eleventh Canto. Those who have no faith even after hearing about Krṣṇa and the excellence of devotional service, who think that it is simply eulogy, find the path very difficult, even if they are supposedly engaged in devotional service. For them there is very little hope in gaining perfection. Thus faith is very important in the discharge of devotional service.
