Text 50] Lord Kṛṣṇa Shows the Universal Form
139
Foolish persons do not know how risky life is here if one does not follow the instructions of Kṛṣṇa. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, therefore, has been started so that by practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness one can avoid the risky life of this material existence. There is no question of accepting or not accepting Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is not optional; it is compulsory. If we do not take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, our life is very risky. Everything is explained in  Bhagavad-gītā . Therefore, to learn how to become free from the miserable condition of material existence,  Bhagavad-gītā As It Is  is the preliminary study. Then, if one understands  Bhagavad-gītā , one can proceed to  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , and if one advances further, one may study  Caitanya-caritāmṛta . We are therefore presenting these invaluable books to the whole world so that people may study them and be happy, being delivered from miserable conditional life.
