Knowledge by Way of the Mahatmas 4l

searching for real pleasure, we have to take to Krsna
consciousness. All happiness in the material world
has a beginning and an end, but happiness in Krsna
is unlimited, and there is no end. In order to get
this happiness we simply have to sacrifice a little
time and chant Hare Krsna. In former ages, the
great sages and demigods used to sacrifice their whole
lives for realizing the Supreme, and still they would
not attain success. For this age Caitanya Mahaprabhu
has given an easy process for God realization. All
that is necessary is careful listening. We have to listen
to Bhagavad-gita, and we have to chant the names of
Krsna and listen to them carefully. We should not
be puffed up, falsely thinking that our knowledge
is great or that we are very learned. We need only
become a little gentle and submissive to hear the
messages from Krsna.

At present, this world is being managed by the
raksasas. The raksasas are man-eaters who eat their
own sons for the satisfaction of their senses. Now
great regimes have been created to smash so many
people for the satisfaction of the raksasas senses,
but they do not realize that their senses will never
be satisfied in this way. Nonetheless, the raksasas
are prepared to sacrifice everything to satisfy their
whimsical desires. It is very difficult for them to
understand the real situation because they are
overly enamored with material civilization. Who then
can understand? Those who are mahatmas, whose
hearts have become magnified, understand that
“everything belongs to God, and I also belong to
God.”
