Protecting Freedom and the Right to go to Hell
Modern secular societies guarantee
certain human rights and freedoms. This is very good, but according to
the timeless Vedic wisdom, human beings also need to be protected from
sinful life. People are acting sinfully, accumulating vikarma
(bad karma), all of this being condoned by the state. The result is
suffering in this life and after death also. Sinful actions result in
suffering for the performer. Pious actions result in material happiness
for the performer, but hapiness in the material world is temporary. All
here are subject to aging and death. Action in Krishna consciousness
(devotional service to Krishna), however, results in promotion from the
material world to the eternal Kingdom of God. Under the circumstances it
is in the interest of all sincere persons to accept the path of Krishna
consciousness. Krishna consciousness means becoming situated in our
constitutional position as eternal servant of Krishna, The Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Krishna is the original source of everything and
service to him brings about transcendental happiness and pleasure. This
transcendental happiness of Krishna consciousness, or bhakti-yoga, is the natural alternative to sinful activities.
