Prabhupada:

 

srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah

punya-sravana-kirtanah

hrdy antah stho hy abhadrani

vidhunoti suhrt-satam

[sB 1.2.17]

 

Krsna, this sound, transcendental sound. Krsna means the highest pleasure.

Highest pleasure. Everyone, every living being, is seeking after pleasure, but

he does not know how to seek pleasure. Therefore in this material conception of

life we are being frustrated in every step for satisfying our pleasure. Because

we have no information from which platform we can have pleasure. That we are

discussing for the last few weeks, that we are not this body. We are

consciousness. Not exactly consciousness. Consciousness is the symptom of my

real identity. I am pure soul. I am merged within this material body... And the

modern material science, they have no stress of it. Therefore they are sometimes

misled about this understanding of the spirit soul. But the spirit soul is a

fact. And everyone can understand by the presence of consciousness. Any child

can understand. The consciousness is the symptom of the spirit soul. So the

whole process now we are trying from the Bhagavad-gita is to bring one to get

him on the platform of consciousness. And if we act from the platform of

consciousness, then we may not be pushed again into the platform of this bodily

conception. And if we can continue that platform, if we continue to act on that

platform of consciousness, then, at the end of this body, not even at the end of

this body, even in the presence of this body, we shall be free. We shall be free

from material contamination. Our spiritual life will be revived and the result

will be that in our next life, next life, after leaving this body, we shall have

our full spiritual life eternally.

Dear Members and Prabhus,please Accept my most humble obeisances!We must

understand when the Guru comes,He speaks for time and circumstance,so this

lecture was given on March 25 1967,in San Francisco.That was when Srila

Prabhupada was first Explaining this Krsna Consciousness,to people from all over

the world! But that doesnt mean the lecture was any different in meaning, than

it is now! Spiritual understandment is still the same!

 

Please look at Pleasure Unlimited in Krsna Consciousness!This site was

given the 2005 award for the Best Spiritual Web site,Only By Krsna's Causeless

Mercy,and it goes nicely with this lecture!

http://www.geocities.com/jayakesava2001 Actually,This is Srila Prabhupada's Web

site,As Almost all of the Words Were Said By Him.
