Somebody was talking that “Your Deity is just like trying to talk with me.” Prasanna–vaktra. Yes. He is here to talk with you, but He is waitingwhether you‘re interested to talk with Him. That’s all. Kṛṣṇa says that teṣāṁ satata–yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti–pūrvakam, buddhi–yogaṁ dadāmi tam [Bg. 10.10]. He talks, but with whom? Teṣāṁ satata–yuktānām. One who is twenty-four hours engaged with love and faith in the service of the Lord. To whom? Just like if you want to talk with some big man, then you must have qualification. Is it possible that if you want to talk with the big man here, immediately you like? No. You cannot talk. You must be fit to talk with him. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is ready to talk with you. He has come. He has descended in arcā–mūrti to talk with you, to be visible by you. Now you make yourself ready and fit to talk with Kṛṣṇa. Then He will exchange conversation. Santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti. This is possible. This is a qualification. Bombay Dec 4 1974 lecture
