…A Vaisnava like Prahlada Maharaja is not interested in such a bluff of
spiritual advancement. Rather, he is interested in enlightening people in
Krsna consciousness because that is the only way for them to become happy.
…The members of the Krsna consciousness movement are not at all interested
in so-called meditation in the Himalayas or the forest, where one will only
make a show of meditation, nor are they interested in opening many schools
for yoga and meditation in the cities. Rather, every member of the Krsna
consciousness movement is interested in going door to door to try to
convince people about the teachings of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, the teachings
of Lord Caitanya. That is the purpose of the Hare Krsna movement. The
members of the Krsna consciousness movement must be fully convinced that
without Krsna one cannot be happy. Thus the Krsna conscious person avoids
all kinds of pseudo spiritualists, transcendentalists, meditators, monists,
philosophers and philanthropists.
