 | This lack of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is called ignorance. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (5.5.5) it is called parābhavas tāvad abodha-jātaḥ. Everyone is born ignorant. The Bhāgavatam therefore says that we are all born ignorant within this material world. In our ignorance we may create nationalism, philanthropy, internationalism, science, philosophy and so many other things. The basic principle behind all these is ignorance. What then is the value of all this advancement of knowledge if the basic principle is ignorance? Unless a person comes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, all of his activities are defeated. This human form of life is especially meant to dissipate ignorance, but without understanding how to dissipate ignorance people are planning and building many things. After death, however, all of this is finished. | | | Esa falta de Conciencia de Kṛṣṇa se denomina ignorancia. En el Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (5.5.5), se dice que es parābhavas tāvad abodha-jātaḥ. En el mundo material, todos nacemos ignorantes, dice por lo tanto el Bhāgavatam. En nuestra ignorancia creamos el nacionalismo, la filantropía, el internacionalismo, la ciencia, la filosofía y tantas otras cosas cuyo principio básico es la ignorancia. ¿De qué vale todo ese avance en el conocimiento, si su principio básico es la ignorancia? La única opción es ser consciente de Kṛṣṇa; de lo contrario, todas las actividades están destinadas al fracaso. La finalidad especial de la forma humana de vida es disipar la ignorancia, pero la gente, sin entender cómo disipar la ignorancia, se dedica a organizar y construir muchas cosas que, sin embargo, se terminan con la muerte. | |
