262 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 19

Godhead (yanti mad-ydjino ‘pi mam). Otherwise there is no difference
between human life and the lives of jungle animals and birds. Animals
and birds also have freedom, but because of their lower birth, they can-
not use it. Taking advantage of all the facilities offered him, a human
being who has taken birth in the land of Bharata-varsa should become a
fully enlightened devotee and go back home, back to Godhead. This is
the subject matter of the Krsna consciousness movement. The inhabi-
tants of places other than Bharata-varsa have facilities for material en-
joyment, but they do not have the same facility to take to Krsna con-
sciousness. Therefore Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has advised that one who
has taken birth as a human being in Bharata-varsa must first realize
himself as a part and parcel of Krsna, and after taking to Krsna con-
sciousness, he must distribute this knowledge all over the world.
