All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Here in a few short sentences, Srila Prabhupada cuts thru volumes of  sastra and so nicely explains

our problems and how to simply solve them.

Our problem, is we love matter much more than Krsna.

Paramahamsa: It’s also said that if you follow perfectly the rules  and regulations, but don’t develop love for Krsna, then you have  wasted your time.

Prabhupada: Yes, but if you follow the rules and  regulations, automatically, you’ll love Krsna. Sadhakanam ayam premnah  pradurbhave bhavet kramah. These are the stepping-stones. The  devotional service develops by association. So if the associates  are pure devotees, anyone who will come to that association will become  devotee. (break) …just like a young man and young woman. The devotion  is there, love is there, but in the beginning, they should mix, or some  presentation should be given, some, something eatable should be accepted,  should be given. In this way, when the association is thick and thin, the  love is there. The love is already there. It has to awakened by a  certain process. Dadati pratigrhnati bhunkte bhojayate guhyam akhyati  prcchati ca sad-vidham priti-laksanam. These are six types of  loving principles, that you give, if you want to love somebody, you  give something. And whatever he or she offers, you take from him.  Dadati pratigrhnati. You give him something to eat, and whatever he or  she gives, you eat. Bhunkte bhojayate ca. And guhyam akhyati prcchati.  And you try to understand his heart, and your heart be disclosed to him  or her. If you follow these principles, automatically the  loving propensity will awaken. It is already there. It is not artificial.  It has simply to be awakened by a certain process. So that process we  are

prescribing, to rise early in the morning, have  mangala-aratrika, worship Deity, offer food stuff, eat prasadam, chant Hare  Krsna. Anyone who will follow this principle, he will become  purified.

There is no need of education, because the devotion is  already there. By following these rules and regulations, it will be  awakened. As, as, as in this straw, there is fire. Now, you ignite it,  and just fan it, and the fire will come. It is already there, fire. But  you know, you must know the process how to ignite fire. Huge fire will  come. You can burn the whole garden from this straw. Is it not? So you  must know the process, how to ignite fire. Fire is already there, in these  trees, in these straws, in this grass. Fire is already there. That, that is  the process. First of all, you must know that fire is already there.  Now ignite. Then it comes more. Then burning, blazing. So the blazing  fire is required. But that will come gradually. If you follow the  process. That is described by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the  Siksastakam, ceto-darpana-marjanam. The first step will be  cleansing of the heart. And in the heart there is God,  already. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese ‘rjuna tisthati. The Lord is  situated in everyone’s heart. So actually yoga system is to find out the  Lord within the heart. That is meditation. Lord is there already: simply we  have to find it out.

That, that if, if you are informed that within this park there is  one hundred weight of gold is lying there. Now you have to find out.  But the indication is there. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese  ‘rjuna tisthati. The Lord, the Supreme Lord, is situated in  everyone’s heart. Now find him out. That is yoga system.
