<div class="heading">If I say that you can go to Santa Fe, what is the harm? What is the wrong there?... Anywhere, if Kṛṣṇa says that you can go to the sun planet, what is wrong there?... And if Kṛṣṇa desires that he should go to sun planet then he'll go. What is wrong there? There is nothing wrong. You have to act what Kṛṣṇa says. It doesn't matter what He says. You should not select Kṛṣṇa's order according to your choice. You should accept Kṛṣṇa's order by Kṛṣṇa's choice. If Kṛṣṇa says you go to hell, "Yes, I am going to hell." That's all.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on BG 3.11-19 -- Los Angeles, December 27, 1968|Lecture on BG 3.11-19 -- Los Angeles, December 27, 1968]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Guest: Kṛṣṇa tells Arjuna he can go to the sun planet in the Gītā. Why does He say that? I can't remember where. I remember reading that Kṛṣṇa told Arjuna he can go to the sun planet by worshiping Him. Why does He say that?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If I say that you can go to Santa Fe, what is the harm? What is the wrong there?</p>
<p>Guest: You can go to the sun planet by worshiping...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Anywhere, if Kṛṣṇa says that you can go to the sun planet, what is wrong there?</p>
<p>Guest: Well, I thought you'd go to Kṛṣṇa, along with Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And if Kṛṣṇa desires that he should go to sun planet then he'll go. What is wrong there? There is nothing wrong. You have to act what Kṛṣṇa says. It doesn't matter what He says. You should not select Kṛṣṇa's order according to your choice. You should accept Kṛṣṇa's order by Kṛṣṇa's choice. If Kṛṣṇa says you go to hell, "Yes, I am going to hell." That's all. Svargāpavarga-narakeṣv api tulyārtha-darśinaḥ. For a Kṛṣṇa conscious person there is no distinction that this is hell, this is heaven.</p>
<p>Just like we have come here to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We have no distinction between Los Angeles and Vṛndāvana. Wherever I am, I am in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that is Vṛndāvana. That's all. I don't live in Los Angeles or anywhere. I live in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness, therefore I live in Kṛṣṇa. So your principle should be like that. You be fully in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you forget all other things. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading, therefore your living is all-pervading. Is that all right?</p>
