Life's Ultimate Goal
53
of Krṣṇa, these atheistic rascals do not accept Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Although the Lord is described and accepted by great personalities,  ācāryas  and sages, the Māyāvādīs still do not appreciate Him. Unfortunately at the present moment human society is so degraded that people cannot even provide themselves with life's daily necessities, yet they are captivated by Māyāvādī philosophers and are being misled. According to  Bhagavad-gītā , simply by understanding Krṣṇa one can get free from the cycle of birth and death.  Tyaktvā deharṅ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rijuna . Unfortunately this great science of Krṣṇa consciousness has been impeded by Māyāvādī philosophers who are opposed to the personality of Krṣṇa. Those who are preaching this Krṣṇa consciousness movement must try to understand Krṣṇa from the statements given in  Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu  ( The Nectar of Devotion ).

TRANSLATION
“Above Nārāyaṇa, Kṛṣṇa has four specific transcendental qualities—His wonderful pastimes, an abundance of wonderful associates who are very dear to Him [like the gopīs], His wonderful beauty and the wonderful vibration of His flute. Lord Kṛṣṇa is more exalted than ordinary living beings and demigods like Lord Śiva. He is even more exalted than His personal expansion Nārāyaṇa.
