"Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate (BG 2.59), in the Bhagavad-gītā, "When a man becomes addicted to something good, he gives up bad habits." Just like a child, a boy, he plays sometimes very mischievously, but when he is grown up or he is given to the practice of study, he no more acts mischievously—he reads and writes, he goes to school and becomes sober and gentle. This is called the paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. You cannot by force teach something unless it is natural. So kṛṣṇa-bhakti is natural to everyone—everyone."
