Entire World is Maddened by Sense Gratification

It's painful to see the human race so much maddened by material senses gratification. It has become totally entangled in the clutches of material senses. For example upon arriving in Bulgaria I noticed how it is considered very fashionable for women to wear high heeled shoes, even though it is most unhealthy practice that health professionals area always warning against. But being mad after sense gratification, health considerations are placed aside replaced by the desire to be sexually appealing. What is good for one's health no longer matters. Overindulgence in material sense is not only bad for one's physically health. It is even more detrimental for one's spiritual health because it obliges one to give up the human form of life and go down to the animal kingdom in one next life.

Materially and Spiritually Unhealthy Material Sense Gratification

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: When Will the Whole World Become Delivered?

You mentioned in Thought for the Day that the Krishna consciousness movement will spread all over the world. But when it will happen? And if every living entity will be delivered, then why should we try to preach the message of the Lord. And since we will also be delivered, then why we should also do the devotional service of the Lord?

I also have heard that if we do not use the human form of life in serving the Lord, then we will go to the animal society rotating in the 8,400,000 species of life. But you mentioned, "The Krishna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind." So how it is? Please enlighten me.

Your servant,
Sanket

Answer: That Depends On Our Purity and Cooperation

When the whole world will become Krishna conscious depends on how purely we become fixed in Krishna consciousness and to what extent we, the members of the Krishna consciousness movement, work in full cooperation with each other to make it happen. Of course, the cooperation mood is a symptom of pure Krishna consciousness within the heart. If we remain tinged with the desire for material sense gratification and are hence not able to work together cooperatively, it will take many thousands of years before the global inundation of Krishna bhakti takes place. And if we become fully awakened in Krishna consciousness working together in perfect harmony with each other, the whole world can take to this Krishna consciousness movement during our present lifetimes.

Every living being will eventually go back to Godhead. But until then they are suffering like anything in the cycle of repeated birth and death. Therefore the devotee of the Lord, being an ocean of mercy, cannot tolerate to see them suffering so much and fully absorbs himself in giving Krishna consciousness to others. He also sees to his own deliverance as soon as possible rather than dragging on for thousands and millions of years in the cycle of birth and death.
