| "So Caitanya Mahāprabhu's movement is not sentimental. People think that this is a sentimental movement. No. We have got very good background. If one wants to understand this saṅkīrtana movement through philosophy and learning and logic, oh, there is ample opportunity. It is not sentimental. It is based on science and based on authority of Vedas. But it is simplified. That is the... That is the beauty of this movement. Either you are great scholars or philosopher, or either you are a child just like this child, everyone can take part, without any difficulty." |

| "This Kṛṣṇa sound and Kṛṣṇa, non-different. Therefore if we vibrate sound Kṛṣṇa, then I am immediately in contact with Kṛṣṇa, and if Kṛṣṇa is whole spirit, then immediately I become spiritualized. Just like if you touch electricity, immediately you're electrified. And the more you become electrified, more you become Kṛṣṇized. Kṛṣṇized. So when you are fully Kṛṣṇized, then you are in the Kṛṣṇa platform. Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya (BG 4.9), then fully Kṛṣṇized, no more comes back to this material existence. He remains with Kṛṣṇa." |

| Allen Ginsberg: If LSD is a material attachment, which it is, I think, then is not the sound, śabda, also a material attachment? Prabhupāda: No, śabda is spiritual. Originally, just like in Bible there is 'Let there be creation', this sound, this spiritual sound. Creation. Creation was not there. The sound produced the creation. Therefore, sound is originally spiritual, and through the sound... Sound—from sound, sky develops; from sky, air develop; from air, fire develop; fire, water develop; from water, land develop. Allen Ginsberg: Sound is the first element of creation? Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. Allen Ginsberg: What was the first sound, traditionally? Prabhupāda: Vedic states oṁ. Yes. So at least we can understand, from your Bible, that God said, 'Let there be creation'. So this is sound, and there is creation. God and His sound is nondifferent, absolute. I say 'Mr. Ginsberg'," this sound and I, a little difference. But God is nondifferent from His energy. |

| "So some way or other, if we can develop our Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then immediately we become purified. That is the process. Kṛṣṇa gives chance to everyone. Just like Kaṁsa. Kaṁsa was thinking of Kṛṣṇa. He was also Kṛṣṇa conscious, always thinking of Kṛṣṇa, 'Oh, how shall I find out Kṛṣṇa? I shall kill Him'. That was his business. That is the asuric mentality. Āsuriṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ (BG 7.15). But he also became purified. He got salvation." |
