sei deÅ›e vipra, nÄma — miÅ›ra tapana
niÅ›caya karite nÄre sÄdhya-sÄdhana
sei deÅ›e - in that region of East Bengal; vipra - a brÄhmaṇa; nÄma - named; miÅ›ra tapana - Tapana MiÅ›ra; niÅ›caya karite - to ascertain; nÄre - not able; sÄdhya - objective; sÄdhana - process.
In East Bengal there was a brÄhmaṇa named Tapana MiÅ›ra, who could not ascertain the objective of life or how to attain it.
One must first ascertain the object of life and then understand how to attain it. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is pointing out to everyone that the object of life is to understand Kṛṣṇa, and to attain that goal of life one must practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness, following the methods prescribed by the GosvÄmÄ«s with reference to the authoritative Å›Ästras and Vedas.
