76 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 15

that this material world, or anything not directly in touch with ser-
vice to Krsna, is eternal. Thus you will obtain peace.

PURPORT

The Krsna consciousness movement is factually endeavoring to bring
human society to a sober condition. Because of a misdirected civilization,
people are jumping in materialistic life like cats and dogs, performing all
sorts of abominable, sinful actions and becoming increasingly entangled.
The Krsna consciousness movement includes self-realization because one
is first directed by Lord Krsna to understand that one is not the body but
the owner of the body. When one understands this simple fact, he can
direct himself toward the goal of life. Because people are not educated in
terms of the goal of life, they are working like madmen and becoming
more and more attached to the material atmosphere. The misguided man
accepts the material condition as everlasting. One must give up his faith
in material things and give up attachment for them. Then one will be
sober and peaceful.
