Hare Krsna Prabhus
Obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
And a good morning to you all–
just finished inspecting the “fields”, chanting for a while, serving
the Silas, send out some mail then will read SB for class-
this is the life and I dont know why more dont take to it. Actually yesterday some fellow, who works over in Oak Harbor for the Navy stopped by, heard about us from somewhere, and he remarked after looking over the fields of green along with the mtns, said this place is really beautiful ! I think he was transcendentally stunned by everything he saw here.
So he said he will attend the program this coming Saturday here. He has been to India and finds it very
attractive-.
see you all Saturday for some chanting dancing and feasting.

Prabhupada: This means these things, these sentiments–anxiety, grief, anger, all these things–they are constant companion with the living entity. You cannot give it up. But when they are used for Krsna, that is perfection. That is upadhi-sunya, without any designation. Satsvarupa: Prabhupada, we are only neophytes. How we can know if our anxiety is still material when we feel anxiety in devotional service? Prabhupada: No, no. If you feel anxiety for Krsna, then it is not material. That anxiety is not… That is love. That is pure love, that… Why you become anxious for our children? Because there is love. So whole scheme is that you have to transfer your attachment to Krsna. Dr. Patel: All bhakti should be directed to the sacred feet of Krsna. Prabhupada: Yes, yes. Mayy asakta-manah partha yogam yunjan. This is called bhakti-yoga. Mayy asakta. The asakti, the attachment, is for so many things. Now we have to concentrate it on Krsna. This is bhakti-yoga. Mayy asakta manah partha yogam yunjan mad-asrayah. Simply by this concentration of an attraction to Krsna, you become liberated. This is the process. Dr. Patel: First you must perfect your thinking of Krsna. Prabhupada: Yes. When you think of Krsna, you are on the transcendental position. You are not in the material world. Mam ca vyabhicarini bhakti-yogena yah sevate, sa gunan samatitya etan. He is immediately transcendental to all the qualities of material world. Dr. Patel: Then he becomes brahma-bhuta. Prabhupada: Yes. So if continuously…
That is our Krsna consciousness movement. If you continuously remain yourself, thinking of Krsna, smartavyah satato visnu vismartavyo na jatucit. This is the process: You have to think of Krsna always. The yogis and others, they artificially, for a certain time, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes or half an hour, they think of Krsna by meditation, and they engage again in the material activities. But here… Dr. Patel: The yogis have got difficulty… (break) Prabhupada: …helpful to bhakti. Dr. Patel: That is why they are… I am getting sidetracked. Prabhupada: They think that these are the processes, mechanical process. Krsna-bhakti is not mechanical. It is spontaneous. When you spontaneously think of Krsna, that is perfection. (break) Abhyabhicarini. (break) Apratihata. Yena atma prasidati. (break) …anxiety for Krsna. Therefore it is transcendental.
