26 The Nectar of Devotion

tion so that everyone will be happy and take profit from developing
Krsna consciousness.

Lord Sri Krsna instructed Uddhava that by following the injunc-
tions of the social and spiritual orders of human society one can
satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and as a result of such
satisfaction the whole society gets all the necessities of life amply and
without difficulty. This is because, after all, the Supreme Personality
of Godhead maintains all other living entities. If the whole society
performs its respective duties and remains in Krsna consciousness,
there is no doubt that all of its members will live very peacefully and”
happily. Without wanting the necessities of life, the whole world will
be turned into Vaikuntha, a spiritual abode. Even without being
transferred to the kingdom of God, by following the injunctions of
the Srimad-Bhagavatam and prosecuting the duties of Krsna con-
sciousness, all human society will be happy in all respects.

There is a similar statement by Sri Krsna Himself to Uddhava in
the Eleventh Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, 5th Chapter, 2nd verse.
The Lord says there, ““My dear Uddhava, all persons are engaged in
activities, whether those indicated in the revealed scriptures or ordi-
nary worldly activities. If by the result of either of such activities
they worship Me in Krsna consciousness, then automatically they be-
come very happy within this world as well as in the next. Of this
there is no doubt.” We can conclude from this statement by Krsna
that activities in Krsna consciousness will give everyone all perfection
in their desires.

Thus the Krsna consciousness movement is so nice that there is no
need of even designating oneself brdhmana, ksatriya, vaisya, Sidra,
brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha or sannydsi. Let everyone be en-
gaged in whatever occupation he now has. Simply let him worship
Lord Krsna by the result of his activities in Krsna consciousness. That
will adjust the whole situation,and everyone will be happy and peace-
ful within this world. In the Narada-paficaratra the regulative princi-
ples of devotional service are described as follows: “Any activities
sanctioned in the revealed scriptures and aiming at the satisfaction of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead are accepted by saintly teachers
as the regulative principles of devotional service. If somebody regu-
