That is Krsna conscious.

[Guest guest]

Visala: I remember over five years ago you telling me about, "If you read

the first nine cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam, you become fully Krsna

conscious." Would you kindly tell me what does it mean to be fully Krsna

conscious?

Prabhupada: What do you understand, fully Krsna conscious?

Visala: What does it mean to be fully Krsna conscious?

Prabhupada: No, what you mean, first of all let me know.

Harikesa: What do you think fully Krsna concious means? You tell Prabhupada.

Visala: It's to see Krsna face to face?

Prabhupada: That means Krsna conscious? Everyone is seeing Krsna face to

face. When you go to the temple Krsna is there, and you are seeing. Does it

mean everyone is Krsna conscious?

Visala: No.

Prabhupada: Then what is the meaning of Krsna conscious?

Indian man: Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati [bg. 18.54].

Prabhupada: Hm, that is part of Krsna consciousness, brahma bhutah. Real

Krsna consciousness is: "Krsna is master, I am servant." This is Krsna

consciousness.

Visala: To understand that you're the servant and Krsna is the master. I

see.

Prabhupada: When you fully understand, that is your Krsna... That is Krsna

conscious. [break] So long you think that "I can also become like Krsna,"

then you are not Krsna conscious.

Visala: In other words, if you still have material desires you can't be

fully Krsna conscious.

Prabhupada: Yes. That is the beginning of Krsna consciousness,

anyabhilasita-sunyam [brs. 1.1.11]. Make all your material desires zero.

Visala: Thank you very much.

Prabhupada: That is Krsna conscious. You should only desire to serve Krsna.

[break] ...clear or not?

Visala: Very clear. Thank you very much.
