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.
