Hare Krishna question, isn’t unconsciousness of Krishna a greater fault than unconsciousness of one’s own faults this question is based on the interview article unconsciousness to be unconscious of one’s fault is the worst unconsciousness and is the biggest fault so answer yes, unconsciousness of Krishna is in one sense the ultimate fault but then what does unconsciousness of Krishna mean and what does consciousness of Krishna mean there are many people who may be aware of Krishna in the sense that okay, he is one figure in the Hindu religious world or maybe he is a figure, he is a character in the mythology of ancient India so that kind of consciousness of Krishna is not very helpful for improving oneself in terms of character and spirituality, so therefore there are different ways in which people can approach Krishna and if one is approaching Krishna purely from a historical or a literary point of view then that doesn’t help one to remove the false margin if a person has sickness and if somebody goes to take a medicine to get cured then that is beneficial but if somebody is not aware that I have a sickness then that person is just a trader in medicine, so that person is interested in how much commodity has come, what is the weight, what are the logistics but not interested in taking the medicine so if one becomes a trader in medicine one doesn’t take the medicine then one doesn’t benefit much from it so as long as we are unconscious of our faults, not just faults in terms of our lack of talents but faults ultimately in terms of our moral weakness and ultimately the weakness of being in a precarious material existence where we are subject to distress and death at any moment and recognizing that our lack of spiritual consciousness is the ultimate fault then when we turn towards Krishna then that turning towards Krishna leads to a serious shelter of Krishna and that is the way one can become freed from faults so unconsciousness of Krishna is definitely the biggest fault but what does unconsciousness of Krishna mean, there may be people who are aware of Krishna but they are not conscious of Krishna in the sense that they do not seek Krishna’s shelter, they do not consider Krishna to be their lord who can give them shelter so only when we become aware of our weaknesses and feel the need of Krishna, then can we take shelter of Krishna wholeheartedly this is seen in the setting of the Bhagavad Gita also that Arjuna in the first chapter was giving all kinds of reasoning for continuing his own way of doing things but eventually when he realized that my own way is just making a mess out of my thoughts and my life in 2.6 he said I don’t know what I should do and therefore he surrendered to Krishna I ask you about what is Dharma I become your disciple and surrender to you so then it results that Krishna instructed him so same way our faults, as long as we are unconscious of them, we don’t feel the need of taking shelter of Krishna but when we become conscious of our faults, that makes us feel the need for Krishna and then we can thereafter, by the shelter of Krishna, by becoming conscious of Krishna overcome those faults, so it means to be fault unconscious and to be Krishna unconscious that is undesirable to be fault conscious and to be Krishna unconscious that will lead to inferiority complex because one will always be dominated by one’s own thoughts of the faults to be fault unconscious and Krishna conscious one will take Krishna very cheaply or casually, to be fault conscious and to be Krishna conscious that is like a patient who is aware of the disease, seriousness and is also aware of the medicines potency, that person is in the best situation so like that our fault consciousness should impel us to become Krishna conscious and seek shelter and remedy in Krishna and thereby advance in Krishna consciousness and become free from the various faults that characterize material existence and develop virtuous qualities as the Bhagavatam suggests यस्यास्यभक्तिर्भग्वत्यकिंचिन सरवेरिमुणिसत्रसमासितेषुर so godly qualities manifest in one who takes shelter of Krishna Thank you.
