Guest (7): To give up matter through the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, to make this contact by using the words of matter, how . . . (indistinct) . . .?
Prabhupāda: It is very simple. It is sound vibration. Sound is the beginning of all material creation. Everywhere there is sound. So . . . and God is in everywhere, therefore He is also in sound. So in sound form we can realize Him. The "Kṛṣṇa," the transcendental sound, and the Kṛṣṇa the Supreme Lord, is identical. That we have to realize by practicing.

There is no, I mean to say, difference between the Supreme Person and His name. Just like in the material conception there is difference. If you want water, simply by chanting "water, water," your satisfaction will not be there. But in the spiritual world, everything being absolute, there is no difference between the name "Kṛṣṇa" and the person Kṛṣṇa.
Therefore by . . . and it is the easiest process for you. You can chant this name "Kṛṣṇa." That means by sound contact, you contact the Supreme Person. That is a point of realization. You have to practice it, and you'll know very easily.
