TRANSLATION
One who
is not in transcendental consciousness can have neither a controlled mind nor
steady intelligence, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how
can there be any happiness without peace?
PURPORT
Unless
one is in Krsna consciousness there is no possibility of peace. So it is
confirmed in the Fifth Chapter (5.29) that when one understands that Krsna is
the only enjoyer of all the good results of sacrifice and penance, and that He
is the proprietor of all universal manifestations, that He is the real friend
of all living entities, then only can one have real peace. Therefore, if one is
not in Krsna consciousness, there cannot be a final goal for the mind.
Disturbance is due to want of an ultimate goal, and when one is certain that
Krsna is the enjoyer, proprietor and friend of everyone and everything, then
one can, with a steady mind, bring about peace. Therefore, one who is engaged
without a relationship with Krsna is certainly always in distress and is
without peace, however much he may make a show of peace and spiritual
advancement in life. Krsna consciousness is a self-manifested peaceful
condition which can be achieved only in relationship with Krsna.
