Prabhupāda: ''Bhakti'' . . . you try . . . you read carefully. Because you do not read, therefore . . . ''nitya-yuktā upāsate. Nitya-yuktā upāsate'' ([[vanisource:BG 9.14 (1972)|BG 9.14]]). When they come to the point of ''nitya'', there also the ''upāsana'' is there. One ''nitya'' is worshiping the other ''nitya''. That is ''nitya-yuktā upāsate''.

Indian man: ''Upāsana'' . . . ''upāsana'' means . . .

Prabhupāda: ''Upāsana'' means ''upāsaka, upāsana'' and ''upāsita''. Three things. As soon as you bring ''upāsana'', there must be one person who is offering ''upāsana'', and there is a process of ''upāsana'', and the other person accepting ''upāsana''.

Indian man: Then we're assuming that we're . . . actually the idea of ''śuddha-bhakti'' is . . .

Prabhupāda: ''Bhakti'' means that. ''Nitya-yuktā upāsana''. That's all. ''Upāsana'' continues. Here they're ''upāsana''. Here the devotees offering worship to the Deity, it is ''upāsana''. And after being perfect, that ''upāsana'' will continue. It will never stop.

Indian man: It will never stop, that's the fact. That is, when a man attains to . . .

Prabhupāda: But Māyāvādī philosophy is that you offer ''upāsana'' now, and when you are perfect you become one.

Indian man: Not one. I mean you merge with one. Not you become one. You merge with one.

Prabhupāda: Then there is no ''advaita-vāda''. There is ''dvaita-vāda''. Two. There is no ''advaita-vāda''. If you accept that you remain different, then there is no ''advaita''.

Indian man: We don't dare, do you see, ''ācchā'', at a particular stage you like to merge with Him?

Prabhupāda: Meeting, I am meeting you. That does not mean we have become one. You are meeting me, I am meeting you. So we are different.

Indian man: What is ultimate object of that ''bhakti''?

Prabhupāda: Ultimate object is you are offering this flower—this is ''bhakti''. But you are different than me.

Indian man: That's all right. That is all right. That ''bhakti'', you can call it love, you can call it in various ways. ''Bhakti'' means surrender.

Prabhupāda: ''Bhakti'' means the process by which Bhagavān and ''bhakta'' interact. That is ''bhakti''.
