"We are now in the position of material consciousness, and we have to develop into spiritual consciousness, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness. What are the stages? That is being described. That means this is the general way of acquiring real knowledge of the soul and the body. But Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given us a special gift, but, that in spite of our not understanding everything very analytically, as they are described in the Vedic scriptures, one can understand himself by the simple process by chanting the holy name of the Lord. That is special gift of Lord Caitanya. He said that if you chant this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, then automatically everything will be revealed unto you."
