It is not that Kṛṣṇa is worshipable by the devotees. He is worshipable by the nondevotees also. But how the nondevotees are worship... How Kṛṣṇa is worshiped by the nondevotees? They do not want to worship Kṛṣṇa. How he makes...? He doesn't want, that's all right. But nature will oblige him to worship. How he can escape the laws of nature? Kṛṣṇa will come before you as death, and you have to worship Him.

So I am very glad that you are trying to capture what is real Kṛṣṇa consciousness. And this is the only process. Think always . . . ''man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī mām ''([[vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). Think always, "Kṛṣṇa is my Lord." That is thinking. This thinking should be always. It doesn't cost anything. If you think, "Here is Kṛṣṇa. He is my Lord," what does it cost? And where is the loss? There is no loss, but the gain is enormous if you simply think of Kṛṣṇa. ''Man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ''. And who will engage his mind in Kṛṣṇa unless he is a devotee? How you become devotee? ''Śravanaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda ''. . . ([[vanisource:SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]). This ''śravanaṁ kīrtanam''. Simply hear about Kṛṣṇa, chant about Kṛṣṇa, then you become automatically. You don't require any education. Simply sit down and hear about Kṛṣṇa, ''śravanaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ''. Not other subject matter. Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa. ''Śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ ''([[vanisource:SB 1.2.17|SB 1.2.17]]). If you do not understand, if you simply hear the chanting, you become pious. You become pious.

So this is the simplest method how to make life sublime and superb, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. And here it is said that ''apīcya-darśanaṁ śaśvat sarva-loka-namaskṛtam''. ''Sarva-loka-namaskṛtam''. It is not that Kṛṣṇa is worshipable by the devotees. He is worshipable by the nondevotees also. But how the nondevotees are worship . . . how Kṛṣṇa is worshiped by the nondevotees? They do not want to worship Kṛṣṇa. How he makes . . .? He doesn't want, that's all right. But nature will oblige him to worship. How he can escape the laws of nature? Kṛṣṇa will come before you as death, and you have to worship Him. Kṛṣṇa says, ''mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham ''([[vanisource:BG 10.34 (1972)|BG 10.34]]). If you do not take advantage of worshiping Kṛṣṇa within your lifetime, Kṛṣṇa will come, just like Nṛsiṁha-deva came to Hiraṇyakaśipu: "You rascal, now do you think that you are independent? Do you think?" Immediately finished, within a second.

So if you don't worship Kṛṣṇa during your lifetime, then you have to worship at the time of your death, and He will take away all your possession. Therefore He is worshipable by everyone—devotee and nondevotee. The devotee take advantage of this life and worship Him, and the rascal, fools, demons, they are forced to worship Kṛṣṇa at the time of death. Therefore it is called ''sarva-loka-namaskṛtam''. You have to worship Him. You cannot escape, you rascal. If you escape, then the time will come—He will take you, He'll take everything, all your possession, and the nature will give you the body of a dog. Just go on barking for so many years. This is the law of nature. You cannot stop it. It is not possible. You better take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and worship as sane man, as nice gentleman. Then your life is successful.
