be happy without God-consciousness. It is only by the mercy of the spiritual master that we can gain the goal of God-consciousness.

|
|
After morning kirtan, Jayadvaita and Brahmananda gave everyone some task to help prepare arrangements to satisfy our spiritual master. Cleaning the temple spotlessly was very important, for as Prabhupad says, \'93Cleanliness is next to Godliness.\'94 It

K\'e9rtan\'e4nanda Maharaj, offered a most beautiful garland of flowers to Prabhupad. Prabhupad, accepting the flowers from the sannyasi, then walked over to the seat prepared for him, as all of the devotees offered their obeisances. Gasps of joy were e

ar followed by the devotees, who have taken shelter at his lotus feet. In the car, driving toward my father\'92s apartment (which is really Krishna\'92s), Prabhupad warned us that no matter how far we have advanced, Maya is so strong that we can easily s

|
|
rishna is a person and He is that ocean of mercy. The bona fide Spiritual Master is the factual recipient of that ocean of mercy because \'93He is not envious, but a kindly friend to all creatures, and does not think himself a proprietor, and is free fro
|
|
m false ego\'85\'94 (Bhagavad Gita, 12/13) Krishna says, \'93That kind of person, he is very dear to me.\'94 Now one may be very dear to some person in this material world, but that kind of endearment is not meant here. To be dear to Krishna is extraordi
|
|
nary because He is the Supermost Person in the entire creation, He is the Chief Eternal amongst all the eternals. In the Brahma Samhita He is described in the very first verse, \'93Krishna who is known as Govinda [Cowherdsboy] is the Supreme Godhead. He
|
|
has an eternal blissful Spiritual body. He is the Origin of all and He is the prime Cause of all causes.\'94 So the form of the Supreme Person is not like the form we are in the understanding of. This material body is temporary as compared with the spiri
|
|
tual form which is eternal; this material body is full of ignorance and the spiritual form of Krishna is full of knowledge; this material form is always miserable with the problems of birth, old age, disease and death as compared with the form of Krishna
|
|
which is always blissful. This is Krishna\'97Sat-chit-ananda Vigraha. His body is fashioned of eternity, knowledge and bliss; just like our form is made of the gross and subtle elements earth, water, fire, air, etc., his form is made of Sat-chit-ananda.
|
|
To know Krishna or to be very dear to Krishna is very extraordinary, because you cannot associate with that Supreme Spiritual Person unless you are also of that Sat-chit-ananda nature. As much as you cannot enter into the sunglobe unless you have got th
|
|
e fiery body suited for that atmosphere, or water\'97you cannot live in the water because your body is not suited for that nature. Now how one can be reestablished in that spiritual nature is the whole program for the human society.

\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Krishna is the Cause of all causes and He must necessarily be the Knower of everything. This is confirmed in The Bhagavad Gita: \'93I am the Compiler of Vedanta and
|
|
I am the Knower of Vedanta.\'94 Vedanta means knowledge. So whatever knowledge there may be, it is originating from Krishna.
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub In the beginning of the creation, Krishna imparted the knowledge concerning the constitution of the living entities directly to Brahmaji from within his heart, and
|
|
thus the disciplic succession in the matter of real knowledge was started with Brahma. Real knowledge means to know about Spirit, which is what I am\'97\'93Aham brahmasmi,\'94 I am spirit\'97and false knowledge or Maya means to know things on the basis o
|
|
f the material senses which are imperfect and cannot extend to the reality of the spiritual world of which I am a part eternally. Maya means that I think I am this body and illusion is to know everything on the basis of this false identification.
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub So Spiritual Master means that He has heard the narration of the transcendental message as it was originally spoken to Brahma by Krishna. Krishna and anything Krish
|
|
na speaks is completely identical with Him in every way. The transcendental knowledge which is coming down to us in that line is Sat-chit-ananda; it is not different from Krishna, and therefore anyone who has the good fortune to come in contact with such
|
|
line and give it submissive aural reception, on such a person it will act. The electric current may be travelling through that wire over many thousands of miles, but still, if you touch it, you will get the shock. So the Spiritual Master is the transpar
|
|
ent medium for Whom no one is equal to or greater than. Such Spiritual Master is completely spiritual, and no one should think that there is any trace of material inebriety about such Pure Devotee of the Lord. A live wire is completely electrified, and n
|
|
o one should make the mistake of touching it, lest he be burnt to ashes due to its being connected to the power house; as the live wire is full of potency, similarly the Spiritual Master, being in contact with the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality
|
|
of Godhead Lord Krishna, through the chain of the disciplic succession, becomes completely identical with Krishna, Sat-chit-ananda. He is Krishna Consciousness personified. He is nondifferent from Krishna. The Spiritual Master is eternal, and He has eter
|
|
nal knowledge and He is eternally blissful. He lives in the spiritual world with Krishna at every moment, although He appears to be in the mundane world acting amongst mundane entities.

\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub The Spiritual Master appears in this world just to do the work of his eternal Lord Sri Krishna and He has no other business. That work is described in the last chap
|
|
ter of The Bhagavad Gita. Krishna tells Arjuna, \'93For anyone who explains this supreme secret to the devotees, devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me,\'94 and the next verse says, \'93There is no servant in this world
|
|
more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear.\'94
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub So the secret being explained by the pure devotees of Krishna is that the living entities are the eternal fragmental parts and parcels of Krishna and their eternal
|
|
activity is to render transcendental loving service to Him. Krishna, the Supreme Lord, is giving us the suggestion that we \'93Always think of Me. Become My devotee. Worship Me. And offer your homage unto Me. The result is that you will come to Me withou
|
|
t fail; I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.\'94 It is not difficult to understand. All of us are persons and similarly Krishna or God is also a person, and since He is the Original Person, Cause of all causes, Maintainer, Creator, and
|
|
Annihilator of everything, it naturally follows that He should be worshiped and thought of at every moment. Throughout eternity, that is the secret of the Spiritual Master. He has come to take us back to the Supreme Abode known as the Krishna Loka to as
|
|
sociate there with our eternal Lord in mood of loving devotion. Imagine if the President sent his messenger to fetch you: \'93My dear sir, the President has sent me, and he is requesting that you come to the White House.\'94 Would you be eager and immedi

|
ately go? So this is not a matter of presidency, but the Dictator of all that be\'97this planet, the moon planet, sun planet and all the innumerable planets floating within this universe. The person to whom everything belongs is requesting you by the pre

lization that everything is Krishna\'92s property, and is expert in engaging others in devotional service. Prabhupad is our dearmost friend. In working to satisfy Him, we can find actual satisfaction ourselves. When Prabhupad is being fanned, all His dev

|
deliver Krishna to us. Our Spiritual Master is not God, but He is the rarest among all living entities\'97a pure devotee of God. Therefore, because He is completely spiritual, He is as good, as worshipable, as God. He is a true Sannyasin. Not that He ha

eat Souls as Prabhupad have exhibited the qualities of true love of God in their selfless devotion to Krishna. And in this way Prabhupad has become the Spiritual Father of so many children, and is raising them nicely in Krishna Consciousness. He has give

n us the greatest gift\'97life. Before we were dead, just attached to a miserable material body, suffering on account of our illusory happiness. But now we are learning how to live. Prabhupad has opened our eyes in the midst of darkness, and given us the

|
torch of knowledge. Therefore, He is the best friend. Prabhupad has given us His whole life, just because, as a pure devotee, He is so kind. Every action, every word, is for our benefit. He cares nothing for Himself, only for serving God, and teaching o

|
thers how to serve. It is confirmed in the Bhagavad Gita that such a person, who explains the process of surrendering to Krishna, is the dearest to Krishna of all His servants. Therefore I bow down to the Lotus Feet of His Divine Grace, Who has rained do

|

\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Please accept my prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet. Your Divine Grace is a messenger from Goloka V\'e5nd\'e4vana, and your mission is to attract the conditio
|
|
ned souls to associate with \'c7r\'e9 K\'e5\'f1\'eba and His eternal associates. You are yourself not different from Lord K\'e5\'f1\'eba because who but the Lord can deliver His devotees. You are the representative of Balar\'e4maj\'e9, the original spiri
|
|
tual master and the source of spiritual strength for all devotees. You are the manifestation of the Lord's infinite mercy, and therefore you are more merciful than the Lord. Thousands of births of penances and austerities cannot liberate one from the whi
|
|
rlpool of material energy but one word from the spiritual master, and the conditioned soul is at once free. As a business firm is bound by the order of its bona fide representative or by his signature on a contract, so Lord K\'e5\'f1\'eba is bound by the
|
|
words and promises of His bona fide representative. If you accept someone in the service of the Lord, then K\'e5\'f1\'eba must also accept him.
|

|
|
kingdom of V\'e5nd\'e4vana. When you saw the photograph of Kartamasi in your apartment on the Bowery you told me "I like that doll," and "My desire is to be His friend." You are always thinking of K\'e5\'f1\'eba, and He also cannot separate His mind fro
|
|
m you. You are one of the Lord's dear friends in V\'e5nd\'e4vana, who is sometimes chasing the shadows that the birds make on the ground, sometimes shouting ill names into the well, sometimes imitating the sounds of the animals, sometimes sharing Lord K
|
|
\'e5\'f1\'eba's l\'e4\'f2\'f2us and kacoris and sometimes hearing Him tell jokes at lunch.
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Because you have accepted Lord K\'e5\'f1\'eba as your friend, you are an ocean of mercy pulling us who are rotting in the kingdom of material energy. As the swan di
|
|
ces deep into the water and grasps only the essence of the water, the milk, so you have forgotten everything material and grasped the essence of everything spiritual, the fearless lotus feet of the son of Nanda. And the nectar which you are always tastin
|
|
g from the feet of the Lord is flowing like a river from your lips in the form of the narration of the glories of His name, fame, form and pastimes. Simply by hearing from you, \'c7r\'e9la Prabhup\'e4da, can give relief from the fire of material nescienc
|
|
e, and simply by following your instructions we can enter into the association of His Lordship \'c7r\'e9 K\'e5\'f1\'eba in His eternal abode and receive from Him the special power of bestowing love of God to all living entities.

grabbed me out. He has given me true life and forced me to see the death. The perfected being, the merciful spiritual master, distributing mercy, has seen fit to let it extend to the lowest regions so that it may touch my head. Truly He has extended a s

|
haft of light through the darkest regions, just so that it could guide the most fallen back to home. This shaft of light is the holy name of K\'e5\'f1\'eba, the Absolute Truth. Being the prime distributor of K\'e5\'f1\'eba's mercy He is offering to every
|
|
one. This must be so, or surely it would not have extended this far down. Truly He is the pure vehicle of the mercy of K\'e5\'f1\'eba. The perfect and divine spiritual master has come and taken me like a tree and shaken off the leaves, the temporary shel
|

ter, so that we must take shelter at His divine lotus feet. Just let me be humble enough to sincerely offer all glories to \'c7r\'e9la Prabhup\'e4da.

communities and organizations, the disciplic succession of knowledge is certainly not merely the passing down of an intellectual understanding of different meanings or procedures for executing rituals, but while including this knowledge, its primary aim

is to pass down an actual experience of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So with the help of the scriptures and information from the heart, we have been trying to properly ascertain the correct position and importance of being a student of the bona f

may receive the seed of devotion within the heart, which, if developed, leads to freedom from birth and death. The spiritual master is known as the vice-Lord, because of the plemipotentiary endowment from the Lord Himself. He is able to remold and reform

the heart of the disciple and return it to its original godly shape, provided the disciple is surrendered to his instructions and is a willing servant. We must always understand that in matters of spirit there is no undue force applied to unwilling subj

race A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup\'e4da declared that there are but two prerequisites for the spiritual master. He must have thorough realization that he is not the body, that is, he is spirit soul. Secondly, he must have heard from the right sources

\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Let us for a moment examine this proposal. If the spiritual master has understood that he is not material but an anti-material living entity, he is not willing to

er. From the platform of limited and imperfect sense perception, it is difficult to appreciate the nature of one fixed in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Just as a man feels insignificant while looking into unlimited space, so our endeavor

|
|
to these western countries, \'c7r\'e9la Prabhup\'e4da, all of us were completely devoid of any understanding of the real goal of life, which is to revive the lost consciousness of our eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord K
|
|
\'e5\'f1\'eba. Nor did we have any systematic process for realizing this goal. The propagandists of the modern education system say, \'93Because we can not see God, therefore He does not exist, and has no bearing on our existence.\'94 While posing as men
|
|
of knowledge, the so-called educationists allure, and then poison, the innocent population of the planet with their disease of mental speculation, exactly as the cobra with jewel on his head befools the innocent victim. Or just as an intoxicated man can
|
|
not see or speak of things with clarity, so these enemies of mankind, who are completely separated from the vision of the Absolute Truth by the curtain of the Lord\'92s deluding energy, speak all nonsense and thus contaminate the atmosphere with impure s

ound vibration.

|
His diverse energies in the material world. When we see a skyscraper, we agree that an intelligent person is behind such an ordered construction. Still, in the face of K\'e5\'f1\'eba\'92s material creation, which is working in flawless harmony and order
|
|
in accordance with His will, the rascal \'93educators\'94 and scientists invent so many theories to either prove that K\'e5\'f1\'eba does not exist, or they simply make everything appear as unreal or meaningless. As is stated in the }{\b0\i\ul0\strike0

he Vedic scriptures. K\'e5\'f1\'eba conscious knowledge, as taught by the spiritual master, is not sectarian religious faith. It is factual. No one can deny that throughout life each of us is constantly changing his body from boyhood to youth to old age.
|
|
That is not a matter of religion, but fact. As for our situation after death, it is not logical to conclude that when the gross body ceases to function at death then the self simply disappears. That is like saying that at night when the blue sky and sun
|
|
go out of sight they become nonexistent. Because our limited eyes cannot see what is actually taking place, even in the material world we cannot establish real knowledge on the basis of eyesight or on the judgment of the senses. If we want to know what
|
|
is really happening when the sun appears to "die" at night or when the sun appears to be suddenly created each morning, then we have to consult knowledge of higher authority. A man and a dog both may see water in the desert, but the man does not trust wh
|

at he sees; he has higher knowledge that what he is seeing is a mirage.

ready set the perfect example. This K\'e5\'f1\'eba consciousness movement is going all over the world simply because you had implicit faith in the words of your Guru Mah\'e4r\'e4ja, \'c7r\'e9la Bhaktisiddh\'e4nta Sarasvat\'e9 \'d6h\'e4kura. Faith in your

words is the secret to all success in K\'e5\'f1\'eba consciousness.

\nosupersub .}{\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Now that we have this human form we must use it for solving the real problems of life. Simply by becoming polished animals is not the true goal of life. The real
|
|
aim of human life is to inquire into the nature of the soul, to realize who we are and what is the summun bonum or the Absolute Truth. This is the proper utility of our intelligence. But how is this done? What is the method by which we can discover this

|
supreme cause? After all, we have imperfect senses and a limited field of experiences.

\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub This is the point at which one should seek the shelter of the bona fide spiritual master. Just as a person seeks out a physician once he discovers he has a disease,
|
|
so also an intelligent man will be able to perceive that this material world is a miserable place. Everyone here is suffering from birth, death, old age, and disease. No one can escape the stringent laws of material nature. But the difficulty is that ev
|
|
en though there is so much suffering due to poor fund of knowledge, the foolish materialists try to make some adjustment within the material energy. So therefore, out of his causeless mercy on such fallen souls, the spiritual master comes to open our eye

s, blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge. He is always engaged in service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. }{\b0\i\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Mac-citt\'e4 mad-gata-pr\'e4

t." Therefore, in spite of these great defects, K\'e5\'f1\'eba has been so kind as to give us a slight glimpse of your transcendental qualities, and we would therefore like to offer a few inadequate words of submission, respects, and appreciation on your

|
appearance day.
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub In assessing the magnitude of your transcendental qualities, however, we concluded that it would take virtually hundreds of volumes of books to properly describe yo
|
|
ur transcendental symptoms. What's more is the fact that we are so fallen that we could not even detect such symptoms in the first place. What we would like to do, therefore, is simply list a few of the major qualities which we are able to perceive from
|
|
within the darkness of our false egos, and hope that you will bestow your causeless mercy upon us in the future, so that we may develop firmer and firmer faith in your lotus feet.
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub In this connection, we would like to cite a recent incident that best illustrates the quality of your firm dedication to the instructions of Lord Caitanya Mah\'e4pr
|
|
abhu, and your own Guru Mah\'e4r\'e4ja, \'c7r\'e9la Bhaktisiddh\'e4nta Sarasvat\'e9 \'d6h\'e4kura. A few weeks ago one of our devotees was doing some shopping in a local store when he met a man who said he knew you when you first came to New York City in
|
|
1966. Upon seeing the devotee, the man asked, "Oh, how's Bhaktivedanta Swami these days?" "Oh, he's writing a lot of books," the devotee replied, not knowing what else to say. "Yes," the man said, almost expecting the answer, "he always did a lot of tha
|
|
t."
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub So from this incident, we can understand your transcendental position as the "person }{\b0\i\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub B
|
|
h\'e4gavatam}{\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub ." We did not even know you when this incident originally took place, yet we can see by your actions that you are nondifferent from the instructions which you are
|
|
giving us right up until the present day. Similarly, sometimes we obtain a copy of some of your older publications, ones published even before you came to America, and in these also, we see that you have been saying the same thing for years and years and
|
|
years and years, and the message is still exactly verbatim, except perhaps for the technical editing. So this encourages us very greatly, especially since our own propensity is to speculate and twist the real thing, until we have gathered it and molded
|
|
it to our own perverted desires for sense gratification. So this is perhaps your greatest qualification, as you yourself have said, that you "have not changed even one word of the original message."
|
|
\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub Another transcendental quality that is also somewhat illustrated by this incident is your constant emphasis on book distribution. As you may know, at the present ti
|
|
me the }{\b0\i\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub karm\'e9}{\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub press and media have gone on a "crusade" against Eastern movements in general, an
|
|
d our movement in particular. According to their perception, the leaders of these movements are making a lot of money for their sense gratification, and members in general have been brainwashed and tricked into serving such fallen leaders. As your servan
|
|
ts and disciples, we emphatically deny this, and say that it is only their own envy that makes them think like this. Nothing could be further from the truth. The purpose of book distribution is not to make money, but is to spread the knowledge by which t
|
|
he suffering masses can be freed from the miseries of birth, death, disease and old age. Therefore your instructions are to distribute as many books as possible, because simply by reading the knowledge contained in the books, we can actually go home, bac
|
|
k to Godhead. Therefore, book distribution is actually the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mah\'e4prabhu upon the conditioned souls, and you, as His unalloyed devotee and advocate, are hailed at }{\b0\i\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1

\par }\pard {\b0\i0\ul0\strike0\v0\expnd0\expndtw0\outl0\shad0\f0\fs28\cf0\cb1\nosupersub And finally, we must, as your disciples, admit that in spite of so much mercy and good instruction from Your Divine Grace, we are still suffering. Suffering because

|
m the spiritual world, which is my eternal home, to the material world, which is nothing but a horrible place of suffering. Since that time I have been forced, for countless scores of births, to inhabit one body after another, appearing sometimes as a de
|
|
migod, sometimes as a dog and sometimes in a lower form. In this way, I suffered terribly. Helplessly lost in the whirlpool of material illusion, I was completely mad, forgetting my eternal nature and my real constitutional position. Ignorant of my spiri
|
|
tual nature, I ran after material sense enjoyment, but was repeatedly kicked and frustrated in my attempt to be happy in that way. In such a state of frightening, hellish madness, I performed many horrible and unmentionable acts, which brought myself and
|
|
others great pain. At the same time, other similarly illusioned living entities performed equally horrible actions which wrought great pain on me. Performing cruel and sinful actions based on ignorance, and impelled by a false desire to enjoy matter, I
|
|
was forced to suffer the consequences, perpetually. Thus there was no limit to my suffering. At times, in the painful sojourn of my material existence, I came to appreciate the futility of sense enjoyment in the material world and considered material enj
|
|
oyment to be full of miseries. However, due to my strong bodily conception, my memory was destroyed, and again and again I ran after material enjoyment just as an animal runs after a mirage in the desert. Lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, this horr
|
|
ible suffering continued without any relief.

head off. This is the position. His Divine Grace \'c7r\'e9la A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup\'e4da is showing how one can be a real well-wisher for everyone. \'c7r\'e9la Prabhup\'e4da is relieving everyone, without discrimination, from all kinds of dan

gerous conditions. Actually, everyone is constantly suffering\'97at every moment we are suffering\'97so much so it is taken for granted. No one questions why he is being harassed and troubled by other creatures, why he is being agitated by his body and m

ind, why he is growing old or dying. Neither taking the miseries of life for granted nor the cures of the superficial symptoms will help. The expert physician searches out the root cause and treats it; subsequently, all symptoms disappear. The spiritual

master is the total physician of our composite disease of material life and its miseries. \'c7r\'e9la Prabhup\'e4da is curing his disciples and giving them real healthy life to lead in this life and the next. A normal doctor may demand high personal fees

ne can learn the truth through practical realization in a systematic and effective way. Without spiritual knowledge, scientists, philosophers and scholars can only develop educational systems that basically amount to what has been called "intellectual an

enefits to his family or to humanity at large. But all these are still on the platform of selfish bodily interest. The criterion of perfection is to act in God consciousness and not with a view to enjoying the fruits of work, either locally, nationally o

r internationally. To act in God consciousness is the duty of every living entity, because we are all constitutionally parts and parcels of the Supreme. It is only the atheistic propaganda which has turned men to think that they are dead-end material ent

ities unto themselves, and that there is no good except working futilely at objectives within this material life. The greatest disservice has been rendered by those who have turned men away from their natural connection with God, who is readily seen as t

he proprietor of everything in the universe. As the limbs of the body constitutionally work for the satisfaction of the whole body, so the living entity who acts for the satisfaction of the Supreme Whole is the perfect, selfless worker. Even among religi

\'93What do you mean by \'91separated energies\'92?\'94 Prabhup\'e4da had a glass of milk at that time. He said, \'93Just like this milk. It is the separate energy of the cow.\'94 All of us were struck with wonder at the simplicity of the perfect example

Prabhup\'e4da immediately presented. At that time there was the cornerstone-laying ceremony. Before the cornerstone was laid there was a hole dug, and the ceremony was performed and a little golden Ananta with a jewel was put in the pit. I remember goin
