A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries.

JOURNAL:

In his purport Srila Prabhupada writes; Everything depends on one's practical performance of duties in Krsna consciousness, which helps one control the senses in every respect and conquer the influence of desire and anger. And one who stands fast in Krsna consciousness, controlling the above mentioned passions, remains factually in the transcendental stage, or brahma-nirvana.

This is the last word in this chapter. We practice remembering Krishna while we go through each day, which will help us to keep desire and anger at bay. This gives us the opportunity we need to be able to be in full consciousness of the Lord and thus attain peace.
