Hello.
From the sense of duty, the regard for the authority of rule of scriptures arises Faith and worship of the Lord according to the progressive development of consciousness. If we discuss the history and details of the people living in the native country and abroad, it will be clear that belief in the Lord is a common religion of mankind. The barbarous wild people spend their lives like animals by eating animal flesh. Yet they worship the sun and the moon and all the great mountains, the great rivers and the vast valleys and worship them as givers and controllers. What is the reason for this? Even if the living entity is completely bound, as long as his consciousness is not covered to that extent as an Identity of consciousness. Certainly a little amount of faith in the Lord will be manifest in Him. As mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 11.14.38 the Supreme Personality of Godhead said the influence of time, the transcendental sound of Vedic knowledge was lost at the time of annihilation. Therefore, when the subsequent creation took place.
It sa Sam sat.
That is a kind of appreciation for the opulence of the lord.
Here Muhammad PhD study the Quran. Tell me how many verses describe Allah as a person.

So he said there's only one verse, Allah is the light.
And he said there is only one verse which says Allah is a light.
Verses say he's merciful, he's kind, he judges himself, all these things. You don't think that oh, this light is very kind.
So there are unlimited verses which says that he's very merciful, very kind. You don't think that this light is very kind.
So how do we practice Ka consciousness? We start to realize how wonderful Krishna is.
As we start to practice Ka consciousness, we start to realize how wonderful Lord Krishna is. 7:46 after attaining a civilized state, when he discusses various education, only then his faith in the Lord is covered to some extent by bad reasoning. Then either atheism or the byproduct of monism, Nirvana, voidism finds residence in the mine. Atheism and its three types. It is to be understood that all these ugly beliefs are only signs of unhealthy consciousness whose strength is not obtained. Three stages of human life are observed in between the completely uncivilized stage and the stage of beautiful belief in the Lord. In those three conditions, the diseases of atheism, materialism and skepticism and voidism leads some people to a bad state in the form of an obstacle to the progress of the living entities. In that situation, not all people will be affected by the state disease. Those who are affected by all these diseases are bound to that state and do not get the qualification to a higher life. The uncivilized tribals, on the strength of civilization, ethics and learning skills, quickly taking shelter of the Varnasrama Dharma, have gained a devotional life suitable for the practice of devotional service. This is the sequence of natural progression of mankind. When the obstructions in the form of disease appearance, then an unnatural situation of life occurs.
