Prabhupada: Brahman means "the greatest." So what is the idea of the greatest? The greatest means... That is described by Parasara-sutra, that He is the greatest in wealth, greatest in fame, greatest in knowledge, greatest in renunciation, greatest in beauty, everything, whatever attractive. How, how you can understand "greatest"? "Greatest" does not mean that sky is the greatest. That is impersonal theory. But our "greatest" idea is that one who can swallow millions of skies within Himself, He is greatest. The material conception, they cannot go further. They can simply think of the greatest: the sky. That's all. "As great as the sky." But we Vaiṣṇava, we see that Krṣṇa has within His mouth millions of skies. So who is greatest? Krṣṇa is greatest or the sky is greatest? This is the difference between the Mayavadi philosophers. Just like Krṣṇa, when He was boy, He was eating clay. His mother asked, "Oh, just open Your mouth. I want to see what You are eating." And Krṣṇa showed him (her) that millions of planets and millions of skies are within the mouth. So He is greatest, who can show that "Millions of skies are within Me." He is greatest. That means greatest in opulence of strength, greatest in strength, greatest in wealth, great..., everything greatest. He is greatest. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's... He says Brahman means the greatest, and greatest means one who is greatest in six opulences.

Now, so there are Upaniṣads. Generally they take eleven Upaniṣads primarily, but there are 108 Upaniṣads. Sometimes the explanation is given that "Why we have got 108 beads?" "Because there are 108 Upaniṣads." So chanting of Hare Krṣṇa with 108 beads means that we are surpassing the study of 108 Upaniṣads. Another meaning is that there are 108 damsels who served Krṣṇa with all respect at Vrndavana. So that is also another explanation, 108. We are serving Krṣṇa's servitors, hundred and..., chief damsels of, at Vrndavana. So these 108 Upaniṣads are described, isa kena kaṭha prasna muṇḍa maṇḍukyo taittiri... You can count how many: Isopaniṣad, Kenopaniṣad, Kaṭhopaniṣad, Prasnopaniṣad, Muṇḍakopaniṣad, Maṇḍukyopaniṣad, Taittiriyopaniṣad. Then aitareyas ca chandogya brhad-araṇyakam tatha. Then Aitareya Upaniṣad, Chandogyopaniṣad, Brhad-araṇyakopaniṣad, Brahmokaivalyopaniṣad, Jabalopaniṣad. There are so many Upaniṣads, 108 Upaniṣads. Aruṇeyopaniṣad, Garbho, Narayaṇo, Haṁsa. This Haṁsaduta, the name, the Haṁsa Upaniṣad, it comes from Haṁsa. Garbho narayaṇo haṁso binduro narada sikaḥ;. Sika-upaniṣad, Narada Upaniṣad.

There are so many Upaniṣads. We cannot remember them. Out of them, nine Upaniṣads, just like Isopaniṣad, Kenopaniṣad, Kaṭhopaniṣad, Maṇḍukyopaniṣad, Aitareyopaniṣad, Taittiriya Upaniṣad, just like, these nine Upaniṣads are very much popular, and generally people read these nine Upaniṣads.

Now, so far Upaniṣads are concerned, here are some of the notes from different Upaniṣads given by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhakura. He's quoting just like the statement of Upaniṣad, purṇam adaḥ;, purṇam adaḥ; purṇam idaṁ purṇat purṇam udacyate [Isopaniṣad, Invocation]. This is statement of one Upaniṣad, that the Supreme is purṇam, means complete. There is no minus; it is always full, always purṇa. Purṇam adaḥ; purṇam idam. And because this creation, material creation, is emanated from that supreme complete, therefore this is also complete. Purṇam idam. Purṇat purṇam udacyate. If a thing is complete and full, then the products should be also complete and full. So these are the statements. So how Krṣṇa is complete? Krṣṇa is complete—His energy, His opulence, His beauty, His knowledge. Similarly, He's complete always. Then another statement, vicitra sakti puruṣa puraṇa. Another statement of Vedic literature, Upani..., vicitra sakti puruṣa puraṇa. That Supreme Absolute Truth is a puruṣa. Purusa means enjoyer, man. Man is supposed to be the enjoyer. He's not woman. Woman is supposed to be enjoyed. Therefore this very word is used: puruṣa. And Puraṇa, the oldest man, oldest man. Nobody... Because He's the cause of all causes; therefore He should be the oldest. And we are also oldest because we are part and parcel. We are also oldest. That is stated in the Srimad Bhagavad-gita, na jayate na mriyate va kadacit, purṇo nityaḥ; puraṇaḥ;... Na jayate na mriyate va kadacit na bhutva na bhuyaḥ; bhavita va, nityaḥ; sasvato 'yaṁ puraṇaḥ;. Nityaḥ; sasvataḥ; ayaṁ puraṇaḥ;. Puraṇa means the oldest. We are also the oldest. So because part and parcel, it is always with the Supreme. Just like the molecule of sunshine: they are part and parcel of the sun. Whenever there is sun, oh, the molecules of sunshine is also there. Similarly, we are molecules of the Supreme. Therefore whenever the Supreme is there, we are also there. Therefore we are also Puraṇa. And puruṣa. Puruṣa means the tendency of becoming enjoyer. So that tendency we have also got. But we do not know that we can enjoy in cooperation with the Supreme because we are subordinate. Differently, we cannot enjoy. As soon as we make our plan to enjoy life differently with Krṣṇa, then we fall under the clutches of maya. We cannot do that. Therefore we have to revive our consciousness that we agree to cooperate with Krṣṇa. That will give us anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). Anandamayo 'bhyasat. Just like if you want to enjoy your life, some way or other, if you can secure a very nice service in the government, oh, your life is fulfilled. But if you want to enjoy your life separately... The government is all-powerful. If you become a departmental secretary, oh, immediately you get five thousand dollars and everything is all right. Similarly, some way or other, if you can become a secretary of Krṣṇa, then your all problems solved. Don't try to enjoy independently. That is maya. That is maya.

Similarly, there are other statements. Sa vrkṣaḥ; kalaḥ; krtibhiḥ; paro 'nyat yasmad prapañca-parivartateyaṁ dharmavahaṁ papamaruddham. Then another statement, vedaham etat puruṣaṁ mahantam aditya-varṇaṁ tamasaḥ; parastad, that vedaham: "I understand that Supreme Person." Vedaham. Vedaham means "I understand." Puruṣa. He's again puruṣa. In the Bhagavad-gita also you'll find, when Arjuna is recognizing Krṣṇa, he said, paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhama pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavan puruṣam [Bg. 10.12]. Again puruṣam. So God is never woman. The foolish person who says that God is, can be worshiped as woman, as mother... No. That is not according to Vedic literature. God is always father. Therefore Bible is all right-conception of father, not mother. Not that "I worship Kali, goddess mother, and become God." These are all nonsense. He's always father, puruṣa. Everywhere we find puruṣa. Never we find that God is a female. No. God cannot be female. Female is energy. Just like Radha and Krṣṇa. Radha is Krṣṇa, but the energy of Krṣṇa, pleasure potency of Krṣṇa. There is no difference between Radha and Krṣṇa, and still, Krṣṇa is male and Radha is female. So God, conception of God, always...

Now, again, patiṁ patinaṁ paramaṁ parastad. That, that puruṣa, that... [break] ...mahantam, the greatest, mahantam. Mahantam means the last word of the greatest. Antam means the last, and maha means great. We have got idea of great, great, greater, greater, greatness, greatness. Where we finish all greatness, He's mahantam. Mahantam aditya-varṇam. Aditya-varṇam. Aditya means the sun. Just like sun. Wherever the sun planet is there, oh, there is sunshine, always shining. So where the sun planet... Wherefrom... The sun planet is also a material thing like this earth. Wherefrom the... [break] ...inhabitants, they're all fiery. Therefore their glaring effulgence is being manifested. So if you can see in the material world such effulgence of a certain point, particular planet, how can you disbelieve that Krṣṇa planet is more dazzling? Krṣṇa planet is more dazzling, and from Krṣṇa planet the brahmajyoti is emanating. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-koṭiṣv aseṣa-vasudhadi vibhuti-bhinnam [Bs. 5.40]. We get this information from Brahma-saṁhita that, by spreading His effulgence, yasya prabha... Prabha means illumination, prakasa. Just like this light is illuminating. So yasya prabha. "Because illuminating light is emanating from His body..." Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi: [Bs. 5.40] "In that effulgence, millions and millions of planets are generating." The same example you can take, that all these planets... This is scientifically true, I mean to say, that all these planets, they have generated from the sunshine. Similarly, spiritual world, that effulgence of the body of Krṣṇa, that is spread, and there are hundreds and millions of Vaikuṇṭha planets are there. Mahantam aditya-varṇam. And then where is that aditya? Where is that supreme sun? Tamasaḥ; parastat. Oh, that is beyond this darkness. This material world is dark by nature. We have several times explained. Therefore in the temporary... Now, just see the arrangement. The sun is there to drive out darkness, but the night is also there so that we can understand that by nature it is dark. Simply by timely appearance of the sun, it becomes day. Therefore there is day and night, day and night, day and night. Tamasaḥ; parastat. And other Vedic literatures-tamasi ma jyotir gamaḥ;: "Don't keep yourself in this darkness. Just try to get out of it and go to that Brahman effulgence." Jyotir gamaḥ;. Tamasaḥ; parastat.

Then another Upaniṣad, patiṁ patinaṁ paramaṁ parastat. Patiṁ patinam. There are many patis. Patis means proprietor, or husband. A husband is also considered a proprietor of the woman according to Vedic literature; therefore the word dasi. A woman's surname is dasi. She agrees to serve the man. You have observed, when we get young couples married, we get it promised: the husband promises that "I take charge of your life. Your whole life shall be dependent upon me. I take full charge of you." And the woman agrees, "Yes, I also agree to serve you the whole life." This is marriage. The... If we exploit, of course... But this is the nice arrangement. This is cooperation. A woman agrees that "I shall serve you," because the man requires woman's service in so many ways by her ser..., cooking, by her embracing, by her becoming beautiful, so many ways. That is the encouragement so that he can work, he can live peacefully, he can discharge spiritual duties nicely. So there is cooperation. Stri-puruṣa. Puruṣa is supposed to be enjoyer, but both their lives become sublime when there is cooperation. So patiḥ; patinam. So everyone is given the chance of becoming a pati. Pati means husband, or proprietor. Even the ant, it has got also a companion, female ant. Even the dog, it has got also companion. Even the small bird, even the insect, even the fly—everyone is given. This is called viṣaya. Viṣaya means material enjoyment.

So viṣayaḥ; khalu sarvataḥ; syat. This viṣaya, this material enjoyment, is provided by the laws of nature everywhere. Don't think that it is in the human society there is love and there is male-female combination. No. Everywhere. That is nature's arrangement. Viṣayaḥ; khalu sarvataḥ; syat. Therefore Bhagavata asks everybody that "Don't be after viṣaya. Viṣaya is already arranged. Accept it as it is." But turṇaṁ yateta na mrtyuṁ pateta yavat niḥ;sreyasaya: "Your endeavor should be how to elevate yourself spiritually. Don't bother about viṣaya. Viṣaya is already arranged by nature's way." So patiṁ patinaṁ paramaṁ parastat. No. He's also, God is also, as we are given the chance of becoming husband, similarly, He's the supreme husband. Supreme husband. Now, if He's the supreme husband and if He marries sixteen thousand wives, it is very difficult for Him? It is not at all difficult. So people do not understand, do not consult this Vedic literature, how it is stated the Supreme. How one can become Supreme? The Supreme... We judge the Supreme in the same philosophy, frog philosophy. "Atlantic Ocean? Oh, it may be a little bigger than this well. That's all." So our calculation of God is always like that. "Krṣṇa, He looks like us, just like a man. So what is there? He may be a little powerful than me. All right, He has spoken Bhagavad-gita. All right. He's little more wiser than us." So we always compare with us. But it is not. He's supreme. We have no idea of the Supreme. Therefore we forget personality. Patiṁ pati... It is clearly stated, pati. Can pati, the husband or proprietor, can become imperson? No. When the conception of pati, husband and proprietor, is there, then He is personal. Patiṁ patinaṁ paramaṁ parastat mahan prabhavaiḥ; puruṣaḥ;.

Then again there is another statement: mahan prabhavaiḥ; puruṣaḥ;. The Lord Caitanya is called Mahaprabhu. Mahanprabhu. Prabhu, master. There are different kinds of master, but He's the mahan-prabhu, the Supreme Master, Supreme Master, and Puruṣa at the same time. Prabhu, you can say... A woman also can become the master. Just like in England there is queen. But no. Puruṣa. He is never woman. Parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate [Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport]. Then again another statement from the Upaniṣads, that "The Supreme has multi-energies." Svabhaviki jñana-bala-kriya ca. He has got so much energies that it appears that it is being automatically done. Just like a, I mean to say, very important man you see. You go there and you... Suppose you ask him for some help, and suppose you want one million dollar, and if he gives you a slip, oh, you take it from there. If you get immediately, then you will understand, "Oh, how much powerful he is. Simply by a pencil, like this, I got millions of dollars!" So God is so powerful. It appears that..., everything is wonderfully, this material nature is working. But it is due to God's energy. His energies are so multifarious, He's so expert, that it appears automatically being done. Not automatically. Not automatically. No. Just like a big mathematician. You give him a very big sum, oh, and within a second, he will at once add it. And for me, I shall commit so many mistakes and perhaps the whole day will go on. Still, I shall not be able. Especially myself. I am never correct in adding. So if the... Supreme power means He has got so much energies, different kinds of energy, that it appears that there is no background, but the nature is working automatically. No. Bhagavad-gita says no. Mayadhyakṣeṇa prakrtiḥ; suyate sa-caracaram: [Bg. 9.10] "The whole nature is working under My superintendence." But the superintendence is so perfect and so nice and so energetic that there cannot be any mistake. So this is called parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate [Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport].

Any question? Thank you very much.

Bhaktijana: What's the relationship between Krṣṇa and Radha? Radha is the energy of Krṣṇa?

Prabhupada: Yes.

Ravindra-svarupa: If the brahmajyoti is in the spiritual sky, how could we reach it in our mind? Is it in our mind also?

Prabhupada: It is here also. Just like the sunshine, when it is covered by cloud, the sunshine is also there. Do you follow? You see that the sky is covered, but still you say, "It is day." Why? The sunshine is there. Similarly, brahmajyoti is here also. Sarvaṁ khalu iti brahma: "Everything is Brahman." But it is covered by maya. Therefore the full-fledged brahmajyoti, you cannot see.

Ravindra-svarupa: I thought it was a place that was far away.

Prabhupada: Yes. It is... Just like above the cloud there is sunshine, fully. We have seen it in an aeroplane. This airlines, U.S. airlines, they say, "Friendly skies." So go to the friendly sky. Why do you remain here, nonsense sky, always covered with cloud? Go to the friendly sky. Just go above the cloud. The cloud is maya. Go above the maya. Then you see. You are seeing already, but it is not full-fledged experience. Everything we are seeing. We have experienced God's power, God's energy. But because we are in ignorance, therefore we cannot conceive perfectly. And as soon as you are above the maya... Mayam etaṁ taranti te [Bg. 7.14]. That maya you can, I mean to say, surpass simply by Krṣṇa consciousness. As you become full-fledged Krṣṇa conscious, oh, then you see always brahmajyoti and Brahman and Krṣṇa and everything. And so far your present condition is, you are seeing also just now. Because without Brahman, there cannot be any existence. So one has to learn. In the flower you can see. In the tree you can see. In the taste you can see. In the water you can see. In the sound you can see. That is all stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya: [Bg. 7.8] "I am the taste of the water." Water is so popular, so tasteful, to every living entity. Man, beast, birds—anyone—water requires. Why? There is a nice taste, quench our thirst. And Krṣṇa says, raso 'ham apsu kaunteya: "That taste in water, I am." So if you are Krṣṇa conscious, if you know from the sastras that "This taste is Krṣṇa," then at once you become Krṣṇa conscious while drinking water. "I am sound in the sky." So, as soon as there is some sound, "Oh, here is Krṣṇa." In this way, you study Krṣṇa. You'll see. In the taste of water you'll find Krṣṇa. In the sound vibration you'll find Krṣṇa. If there is somebody very powerful, you'll find him, Krṣṇa. This description are there in the Bhagavad-gita. This is Krṣṇa consciousness. Yes?

Devotee: Swamiji, I'm trying to... You said that, one time, that brahmajyoti is like the pure light, and it's filtered in the material world through the modes?

Prabhupada: Yes. Material world means three modes.

Devotee: So is that like...? Well... Because the modes don't exist in the spiritual world. Is that right?

Prabhupada: Yes. Just like if you go above the cloud, there is no cloud. That's all. But there is. In a certain portion of the sky, there is cloud. And that cloud is also not permanent. Sometimes sky is clear of all clouds, but sometimes cloud is there. The cloud is generating in the sky and it is vanquished in the sky. Similarly, this material world is sometimes being manifested and sometimes there is no manifestation, simply spiritual. Spiritual is always eternal. The sky, sunshine, is always eternal. Take this crude example. But the cloud is not eternal. It comes and goes, although cloud is a product of the same sunshine. Cloud is not independent. By interaction of sunshine, there is cloud, and that cloud is... There is no cloud. Similarly, this material world is just like cloud. It appears. It acts. When there is cloud, there is torrents of rain. Oh, there are so many productions on account of rain. Everything becomes green. So we give so much importance to the cloud, and it is important also, but it is temporary. As soon as the cloud is over, the greenness is gone. There is no rain. Nothing, nothing. And when the sky is clear, you'll see, "Oh, where is cloud? Where is cloud?" Similarly, this maya means it appears like the cloud, and it disappears like the cloud, but the eternal brahmajyoti remains.

Bhaktijana: Did Krṣṇa create us for to serve Him?

Prabhupada: Eh?

Bhaktijana: Did Krṣṇa create us to serve Him?

Prabhupada: Yes.

Bhaktijana: And to enjoy us?

Prabhupada: Yes. Very nice. So we should prepare ourselves to our healthy condition. That is our healthy condition. As soon as we understand that Krṣṇa created us... Krṣṇa created... There is no creation. Just like if I say that my hand is created, no, it is not created. As long as the body is there, the hand is there. Otherwise, there is no meaning of body. Similarly, we are not created. Krṣṇa is always there; we are also always there. And there are millions and millions of liberated souls who are engaged in Krṣṇa. They never misuse their independence. And we small quantity, we misused our independence. We wanted to enjoy separately. Therefore we are conditioned.

Bhaktijana: But there are, there are many...?

Prabhupada: ...liberated souls. They are never conditioned. They never become conditioned. Yes?

Devotee: You mean they never were conditioned at any time or...

Prabhupada: Eh?

Devotee: You said there were millions of souls...

Prabhupada: Yes. They were never conditioned. They were never conditioned, never conditioned. They are called nitya-mukta, eternally liberated. We are only simple few, this material world. Just like I have several times told you that the prison house. The population of prison house is nothing in comparison to the whole population. What is there? Suppose in New York there is a prison house. Oh, what may be the number? A few thousand maybe. But here, millions. Similarly, the liberated souls are millions; we are only few thousands, or hundreds. Ekaṁsena sthito jagat [Bg. 10.42]. We are thinking this universe is very great. It is nothing in comparison to the whole creation of the Lord. You are seeing only universe, but there are millions of universes like this. All together, they are ekaṁsena sthito jagat. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita. This is only a part of Krṣṇa's creation. One devotee of Lord Krṣṇa, er, Lord Caitanya, requested, "My dear Lord, You have come to deliver all the fallen souls. You please take all the conditioned souls of this universe, and if You think they are not competent, they are sinful, You can give me all the sin to me. I shall suffer for them, but You kindly take." So this is the desire of a pure devotee, that "All may go with Krṣṇa. Let them become liberated. I shall suffer all their..." Now, Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied that "Suppose I keep your request. I take these, all the living entities of this universe. Do you think, is there any loss of this material world? It is just like a one mustard seed in the bag of mustard seeds." So this universe is just like one mustard seed in one big bag of mustard seeds. Can you count how many mustard seeds are there in a big bag? So the idea was that Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied that "Even this universe is delivered fully, oh, there is a big bag of mustard seeds. It is only one grain." There are so many conditioned souls, and these conditioned souls are only insignificant in comparison to the liberated souls. Just imagine what is the quantity of liberated souls.

Bhaktijana: How could we make a poor choice if we were part and parcel of Krṣṇa? How could we have chosen the material world?

Prabhupada: Oh, because you have got independence. Don't you see so many students come. They go away again. Yesterday Kirtanananda went to call Ranchora. He said, "Oh, I have forgotten this!" So you can forget. There is another student. He was also our student, Wally. "Oh, you can go immediately!" Suppose if you... "Oh, I don't care for this Krṣṇa consciousness Society. Who calls you? You can go." That independence is there. We can misuse.

Bhaktijana: But Krṣṇa will always be there if we want to go back?

Prabhupada: Eh? Krṣṇa is always prepared to accept you. He's always prepared. But because He has given us independence, we misuse it and we fall under the clutches of maya. That is our misfortune. We create this misfortune, and we can create our good fortune. "Man is the architect of his own fortune." So if you become Krṣṇa conscious, it is to your good fortune. If you become maya conscious, it is to your bad fortune. You are the creator.

Bhaktijana: When the souls that were never conditioned at all..., do they also have the independence?

Prabhupada: Yes, but they have not misused. They know that "I am meant for Krṣṇa's service," and they are happy in Krṣṇa's service.

Bhaktijana: Could they ever misuse it?

Prabhupada: Yes, they can misuse it also. That power is there. Yes?

Devotee: Well, I believe you once said that once a conditioned soul becomes perfected and gets out of the material world and he goes to Krṣṇaloka, there's no possibility of falling back.

Prabhupada: No! There is possibility, but he does not come. Just like after putting your hand in the fire, you never put it again if you are really intelligent. So those who are going back to Godhead, they become intelligent. Why going back to Godhead? Just like we are in renounced order of life. So we have renounced our family life after thinking something. Now, if somebody comes, "Swamiji, you take thousand millions of dollars and marry again and become a family man," I'll never become, because I have got my bad experience. I'll never become. So if one is intelligent enough, if he has got actually the bitter taste of this material world, he'll never agree. He'll never agree. But those who have not advanced to such knowledge, oh, they think, "Oh, this material enjoyment is very nice. Let me taste it and let me do business in my sannyasi life, and stealthily and privately, let me enjoy." These things are going on. That means they have no taste. They come to hospital-making or this philanthropy. This come again. Sthanad bhraṣṭad patanty adhaḥ;. Ye 'nye aravindakṣa vimukta-maninaḥ;. "Those fools who are thinking that 'Simply by thinking myself, "I am God, I am Brahman, I have become liberated," ' " but ye 'nye 'ravindakṣa vimukta-maninas tvayy asta-bhavat [SB 10.2.32], "but there is no knowledge about You, Krṣṇa," aruhya krcchreṇa paraṁ padam, "they, after performing so much austerity and penances, they rise up to the highest position, Brahman realization, but," patanty adhaḥ;, "they fall down." We have got so many instances. They take sannyasa. They say that brahma satyaṁ jagan mithya: "This world is false. Brahman is truth." But after some days, they come to politics, they come to sociology, they come to hospital, they come to this and that. That's all. Finished. Brahman finished. Patanty adhaḥ;. They must fall down because they have no shelter in Krṣṇa. Just like the sputnik goes very high, clap, hear clap. Uh, come down again. Where you'll go? Yes. Simply for the time being clapping, that's all. (laughs) But the fools, they are so nonsense, they are satisfied with that temporary clapping. That's all.

Bhaktijana: Has my soul ever been liberated?

Prabhupada: That you know. I do not know.

Bhaktijana: If I was once liberated...

Prabhupada: You are liberated. You are liberated. Simply just a cloud has covered you. Drive away the cloud. There is no question that you were ever. You are ever-liberated. That, the sky is always spiritual, but it is sometimes overcrowded with cloud, this maya. This is called maya. Actually, you are not conditioned. You are thinking. Just like in the dream you are thinking that tiger is eating you. You were never eaten by tiger. There is no tiger. So we have to get out of this dream. Don't you sometimes dream that tiger is eating you? Is there any tiger? You are simply thinking. So if you keep in Krṣṇa consciousness, that nonsense thinking will go away. Therefore we have to keep ourself always in Krṣṇa—thinking so that this dream will never come. If you are always awakened, then dream never comes. So keep yourself always awakened by Krṣṇa consciousness. All right. Distribute prasadam. (end)
