Simply By Understanding Krsna, We Become Purified From Contamination Of Birth, Death,Old Age And Disease

[Gavin Swinden]

(Simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa, you become purified and you escape the contamination of birth, death, old age and disease)

 

"So the human form is not to become a dog, hog, pig. You should become a perfect human being. Śuddhyet sattva. Purify your existence. Why you are subjected to birth, death, old age and disease? Because we are impure.

Now, if we purify our existence, then there will be no such thing as birth, death, old age and disease. That is the version of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Kṛṣṇa Himself. Simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa, you become purified and you escape the contamination of birth, death, old age and disease."
