This chanting and hearing is so pious that it will gradually cleanse your heart, and you will understand what is God—what is God, what is your relationship with Him, what is His function, what is your function. All these things will come automatically, gradually. It will take some . . . just like to cure a disease it takes some time, not that immediately you give the medicine and immediately he becomes cured.
Immediately he becomes cured, of course, by hearing, provided one hears properly. But it is not possible, because we are associated with this material contamination. It requires little time. But this is the only process of this age. Simply you hear this chanting, Hare Kṛṣṇa, and hear, and if you have got time you can read books. That is also hearing.
So we have established this center. We are very glad that you have come. It is newly started. If you come here, we are holding classes on Monday and Wednesday and Friday—three classes. Morning also, the inmates of the temple, they hold daily kīrtana, but for outsiders we especially hold classes three days in a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So it is not very troublesome task.
You can please come and hear how they are chanting and dancing. Little . . . just spare a little time—half an hour or one hour—you will be benefited undoubtedly. Undoubtedly you will be benefited. All these boys, they came simply by hearing. We have got many centers—thirteen centers in your country—in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles. They are improving very nicely. Many people are coming—hundred, two hundreds are coming, gradually.
In London also, people are taking very seriously. In the Times of London there was a newspaper heading, "Kṛṣṇa Chant Startles London." You see? So it is a genuine movement, and if you want to learn about God, and if you want to develop your dormant loving spirit for God, then take to this movement. That is our request. Take to this movement.
And that is required, because human life and animal life, the difference is that there is God. The animals do not know what is God. A man can know. Similarly, if we remain without knowing God, then we are simply animals. We are no better than animals. What is the use of becoming a human being? Eating, sleeping, mating—that is also animal’s business.
