Ignorance Cannot Lead to Understanding Kṛṣṇa
“Acts such as suicide are influenced by the mode of ignorance, and in ignorance and passion one cannot understand who Kṛṣṇa is.
What the purport teaches
- Acts such as suicide are influenced by the mode of ignorance.
- In ignorance and passion, one cannot understand who Kṛṣṇa is.
- The surrounding teaching directs us toward devotional service, not giving up the body, as the way to awaken love for Kṛṣṇa.
Try this today
Set aside a quiet minute today to offer a prayer to Kṛṣṇa for understanding.
Ask yourself
How can I turn my attention toward devotional service rather than actions rooted in ignorance?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
