Text 75] Instructions for Civilized Human Beings

easily;  nyāsinām  — of those in the renounced order of life;  iyāt  — can obtain.
TRANSLATION
The process of chanting the holy name of the Lord is so powerful that by this chanting even householders [ gṛhasthas ] can very easily gain the ultimate result achieved by persons in the renounced order. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, I have now explained to you that process of religion.
PURPORT
This is a confirmation of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Anyone who takes part in this movement, regardless of what he is, can gain the topmost result achieved by a perfect  sannyāsī , namely  brahma-jñāna  (spiritual knowledge). Even more important, he can advance in devotional service. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira thought that because he was a  gṛhastha  there was no hope of his being liberated, and therefore he asked Nārada Muni how he could get out of material entanglement. But Nārada Muni, citing a practical example from his own life, established that by associating with devotees and chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra , any man in any condition of life can achieve the highest perfection without a doubt.
