If
Only 5% of the Population
Becomes Krishna Conscious
Sri Ramananujacarya
Srila Prabhupada Lecture

...is to become Krsnized, how to satisfy Krsna, not that "For
political purpose I love Krsna." No. You love Krsna, and your all
problems, political, social and other things, will be solved. This is
Krsna consciousness. You don't require to attempt for political reason
and make Krsna consciousness secondary. Therefore we say that if
people, not all, if some percentage of the whole population of the
world become Krsna conscious, then all the problems of the world will
be solved. We don't expect that cent percent people will be Krsna
conscious, but simply a few percent, say five per cent. If the people
of the whole population, they become Krsna conscious, then the face of
the world will change--isavasyam idam sarvam--because if the leaders,
they understand Krsna consciousness and act accordingly, the others
will follow. Yad yad acarati sresthas tat tad evetaro janah. Itarah
janah, common men, follows the leaders.
