Texts 42-44] Talks Between Narada and King Pracinabarhi 1415

PURPORT

Unless one is associated with devotees, he cannot cultivate Krsna con-
sciousness. Nirjana-bhajana—cultivating Krsna consciousness in a solitary
place—is not possible for the neophyte, for he will be disturbed by the
bodily necessities (eating, sleeping, mating and defending). Being so dis-
turbed, one cannot cultivate Krsna consciousness. We therefore see that
devotees known as sahajiyd, who make everything very easy, do not asso-
ciate with advanced devotees. Such persons, in the name of devotional
activities, are addicted to all kinds of sinful acts—illicit sex, intoxication,
gambling, and meat-eating. There are also many so-called devotees passing
themselves off as devotees while engaging in these sinful activities. In other
words, one who is influenced by sinful activity cannot be accepted as a
person in Krsna consciousness. A person addicted to sinful life cannot
develop Krsna consciousness, as indicated in this verse.
