750514 Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Perth
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Prabhupāda: Sense enjoyment means not advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. As soon as one is advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, his sense enjoyment spirit will be reduced. That is the test. Bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra ca (SB 11.2.42). The test is, how you are advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the proportionate diminishing of sense enjoyment. That is the test. Just like cure of the disease means diminishing the fever, temperature. This is the test.
Gaṇeśa: What if that fever is not being diminished? Prabhupāda: Then he should try to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, ins. . . of sixteen rounds, sixty-four rounds. That is the way. Sixteen round is the minimum. Otherwise, Haridāsa Ṭhākura was 300,000. So you have to increase. That is the only remedy." |
