| "In Bengali it is said, bhajana kara sādhana kara mūrti yāṅre haya. Means you may be very great devotee. That's all right. But it will be tested at the time of your death how you remember Kṛṣṇa. That will be the test examination. At the time of death, if we forget, if we become parrotlike . . . just like parrot, he chants also, "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa." But when the cat catches the neck, "Tyanh! Tyanh! Tyanh! Tyanh!" No more Kṛṣṇa. No more Kṛṣṇa. So artificial practice will not help us. Then "Tyanh, tyhanh." That kapha-pitta-vātaiḥ, kaṇṭhāvarodhana-vidhau smaraṇaṁ kutas te (MM 33). So from the very beginning we have to practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness if we are actually serious to go back to home, back to Godhead. Not that let it be left for two or three years before death. Oh, it is not so easy. It is not so easy. "
