The Forest of Enjoyment
57
TRANSLATION
Saintly persons, who are friends to all living entities, have a peaceful consciousness. They have controlled their senses and minds, and they easily attain the path of liberation, the path back to Godhead. Being unfortunate and attached to the miserable material conditions, a materialistic person cannot associate with them.
PURPORT
The great saint Jaḍa Bharata described both the miserable condition and the means to get out. The only way out of it is association with devotees, and this association is very easy. Although unfortunate people also get this opportunity, due to their great misfortune they cannot take shelter of pure devotees, and consequently they continuously suffer. Nonetheless, this Krṣṇa consciousness movement insists that everyone take to this path by adopting the chanting of the Hare Krṣṇa  mahā-mantra . The preachers of Krṣṇa consciousness go from door to door to inform people how they can be relieved from the miserable conditions of material life. As stated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu,  guru-krṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīya : by the mercy of Krṣṇa and  guru , one can get the seed of devotional service. If one is a little intelligent, he can cultivate Krṣṇa consciousness and be freed from the miserable conditions of material life.
