Prabhupāda: Yes, certainly. That is another bliss, to feel separation from Kṛṣṇa. Everything, either you meet or you separate, the bliss is there. Crying for Kṛṣṇa is better bliss.

So as there are Yamadūtas—they are arresting all the sinful persons—similarly, Viṣṇudūtas, they are always protecting the devotees. (pause) Nārāyaṇa-paraḥ sarve na kutaścana bibhyati ([[Vanisource:SB 6.17.28|SB 6.17.28]]). Therefore those who are devotees, they are not afraid of anything because they know confidently that "Kṛṣṇa is there."

That is one of the items of śaraṇāgati. Surrender means when . . . unless one is convinced that "Kṛṣṇa will give me protection," so how he can surrender? There is no question of surrender. Avaśya rakṣibe kṛṣṇa vivaśa-pālana. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has said to be firmly convinced, "Then Kṛṣṇa will give me all protection." Therefore surrender is perfect.

Ānukūlyasya saṅkalpaḥ prātikūlyaṁ vivarjanam. Surrender means one should simply accept favorable service to Kṛṣṇa and reject anything which is unfavorable, and then next is avaśya rakṣibe kṛṣṇa viśvasa-pālana (Śaraṇāgati): "And to be firmly convinced that, 'Kṛṣṇa will give me all protection.' " Therefore, instead of trying to protect myself, a devotee should always remain dependent on Kṛṣṇa. That is śaraṇāgati. And to consider oneself that "Now I am in the association of Kṛṣṇa," these are different items of śaraṇāgati.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the best contribution to the human society. There is no comparison with this movement, any other welfare activity of the whole world. There is no comparison. Can you suggest any better welfare activities than this Kṛṣṇa consciousness? "Here is another item which is better than Kṛṣṇa consciousness"? What is that? Who will suggest?

Haṁsadūta: Nobody.

Prabhupāda: No?

Haṁsadūta: No one.

Prabhupāda: (chuckles) (Hindi) There cannot be. As Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya ([[Vanisource:BG 7.7 (1972)|BG 7.7]]), similarly . . . nanyāt: "There is no better personality or higher personality than Me."

Kṛṣṇa says. Similarly, kṛṣṇa-bhakti also, in the . . . at the same position, there is no more higher activity than Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Guest (1): Prabhupāda, Viṣṇu- and Kṛṣṇadūta is same. Viṣṇu- and Kṛṣṇadūta is same thing, or . . .?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Guṇa-svabhāva. It is stated there. But the same means . . . does not mean that Viṣṇu, the associate have forgotten Viṣṇu's position. No. Although everything is there, same, still the Viṣṇudūtas know that "Viṣṇu is master; we are servant." But there are many instances in higher official circles. Let's say a high-court.

All the justices are of the same caliber, but still, all the other justices except chief justice, they are considered subordinate. Is it not? Although their position, facilities, all the same, still, the chief justice position and the other judges' position is little different.

(pause) (aside) You are little bit late. We began at five-thirty. Yes. The class . . . we began our ārati at five, and after ārati we began class, five-thirty.

So along with our temple, we shall have to construct some residential quarter for the students. And the students will remain with us. There will be no charge for their fooding or lodging. They will remain as brahmacārī and go to their schools, colleges. Is that idea all right? Not only students; anyone who will remain with us, there is no charge for boarding and lodging.
