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?
nāsti buddhir ayuktasya
na cāyuktasya bhāvanā
na cābhāvayataḥ śāntir
aśāntasya kutaḥ sukham(BG 2.66)
Unless
one is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, there is no possibility of peace. So it is
confirmed in the Fifth Chapter (5.29) that when one understands that Kṛṣṇa 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 Kṛṣṇa conciousness , there
cannot be a final goal for the mind. Disturbance is due to want of an ultimate
goal, and when one is certain that Kṛṣṇa 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 Kṛṣṇa is certainly always in distress
and is without peace, however much one may make a show of peace and spiritual
advancement in life. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is a self-manifested peaceful
condition which can be achieved only in relationship with Kṛṣṇa.
