Therefore those already born in Bharata- varsa should take lessons from the sastras and guru and should fully take advantage of the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in order to be fully equipped with Krishna consciousness. By taking full advantage of Krishna consciousness, one goes back home, back to Godhead (*yanti mad-yajino ‘pi mam[ *\[Bg. 9.25\])*](https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/9/25/)*. The Krishna consciousness movement is therefore spreading this facility to human society by opening many, many centers all over the world so that people may associate with the pure devotees of the Krishna consciousness movement, understand the science of Krishna consciousness and ultimately go back home, back to Godhead.”* [(SB 5.19.28)](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/5/19/28/) The Srimad-Bhagavatam describes the material body as *klesada*, which literally means the ‘giver of suffering.’ The same book later describes the material body as *arthada*, which literally means the ‘giver of great benefit.’ By nature, the body will go through old age and disease, inflicting great discomfort and pain upon the conditioned soul. The same body, however, when engaged in spiritual activities, is an invaluable vehicle that can draw us closer to Krishna. In the same way, according to our vision of the material world, we will experience a certain quality of life whilst here, and reap the concomitant reactions when we leave. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://bhagavata.keshavaswami.com/canto-05/r.e.a.p/a-astronomical-avataras-16-19/worldview.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
