Who You Associate With Decides Your Liberation | SB 3.25.20 | Śrīla Prabhupāda | Mumbai

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.20 Type: Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Date: Nov. 20, 1974 Location: Mumbai Speaker: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda Who you associate with decides whether you stay bound or become free. In this lecture on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.20, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that our consciousness is shaped by the company we keep. Association with materialistic people tightens the bondage of birth and death, while association with a sādhu opens the door to liberation. He speaks about why people take spiritual life so lightly, why human life is meant for tapasya and not sense gratification, and who a real sādhu is. Through the stories of Hiraṇyakaśipu and Prahlāda Mahārāja, he shows how no one can cheat death, and how Kṛṣṇa offers shelter to everyone who sincerely takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. May his words help us choose our association wisely and move closer to Kṛṣṇa. Hare Kṛṣṇa New lectures, kīrtanas and teachings are shared every day at 6 PM IST.
