The next time don’t come with chemicals

[Guest guest]

The other day on sankirtan I sow one young man with tulasi mala, so I said

“Hey, nice necklace,” and I pulled mine out and showed it to him. He said

“Yeah, I like that, man. I’ve got mine at the Hare Krishna temple, man, in

Los Angeles.” I said “I live there.” Then he said “Cool, man, I was there

and I had a good time when I bought that necklace.” Then I explained to him

the significance of tulasi mala, that at the time of death if you have

tulasi mala then the Yamadutas don’t come to take you to the court of

Yamaraja, and he was very happy to hear about that. Then he said “ Hey man,

let me tell you a story of my life.” Once he took LSD, and he actually got

so elevated that he saw Krishna, sitting on the beautiful golden chariot,

and all those horses, beautiful associates, everything was so brilliant,

more brilliant than the sun, more brilliant than anything material. Then

Krishna saw that this person could see Him, and Krishna said to him ”I am

glad that you made it all the way here. I am glad that you have such an

elevated consciousness so that you can see Me, but next time don’t come with

chemicals!”
