We should try to develop our Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Don’t fear anything. Take shelter at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and all your problems will be easily solved. The only problem is, “We are not having darśana of Kṛṣṇa.” This is the only problem. The mind is not controlled, so, by chanting, hearing, and remembering these pastimes, we should try to develop our Kṛṣṇa consciousness and be bona fide devotees. Only in this human form can we serve Kṛṣṇa, progress, and have His darśana—otherwise not. This human body is very valuable for us. We should try to take the darśana of Kṛṣṇa in this life. We should be very sincere. If you are sincere, even if you have no qualification, Kṛṣṇa will have mercy on you—so much mercy on you. But if you try to be clever and use your mundane intelligence, then what you acquire will be like zero—nothing. So, be sincere and try to give up everything. Follow śaraṇāgati, the six kinds of surrender, this will give you everything.
