Just like this thing. That is not practical. And it is practical. Even a small child can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. We see every day, a small child is chanting and dancing without any training.

Dr. Wolfe: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in our age, that is, in the Kali-yuga, it is not.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like this thing. That is not practical. And it is practical. Even a small child can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. We see every day, a small child is chanting and dancing without any training.

Dr. Wolfe: Śrīla Prabhupāda, and the reason that meditation is not feasible now is because we are too much distracted in this age.

Prabhupāda: Mind is . . . I will meditate on my office work. When I close my eye I shall sleep. I have seen it. Big . . . (makes snoring noise) (laughter) I have seen it, old ladies meditating. This is not practical. Meditation is described in Vedic . . . dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 12.13.1|SB 12.13.1]]): mind is fully absorbed in God, and he is seeing the Supreme Lord within his heart. That is meditation. Not snoring. That is not meditation. Impractical. But if you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, immediately you can join, immediately, "Oh." Even the child will join. So this is practical. And that is recommended:

:kalau doṣa-nidhe rājan
:asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ
:kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya
:mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet
