TRANSLATION
The Krsna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown
everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind.
PURPORT
Here again it may be emphasized that although jealous rascals protest that

spiritual movement which is not concerned with the external body of skin and
bones. Because it is being properly conducted under the guidance of the Parica-
tattva, strictly following the regulative principles, it has nothing to do with external
impediments.

bhasya that since the living entities all belong to the marginal potency of the Lord,
each and every living entity has a natural tendency to become Krsna conscious, al-
though at the same time the seed of material enjoyment is undoubtedly within him.
The seed of material enjoyment, watered by the course of material nature, fructifies
to become a tree of material entanglement which endows the living entity with all
kinds of material enjoyment. To enjoy such material facilities is to be afflicted with
the three material miseries. However, when by nature’s law there is a flood, the
seeds within the earth become inactive. Similarly, as the inundation of love of
Godhead spreads all over the world, the seeds of material enjoyment become impo-
tent. Thus the more the Krsna consciousness movement spreads, the more the
