Everyone is suffering or hankering, Either hankering . . . one who hasn’t got, he is hankering, and one who has but lost it, he is lamenting. This is the activity. But Kṛṣṇa consciousness means once you hanker after Kṛṣṇa, there will be no more lamentation. Here the lamentation is, "I could not find Kṛṣṇa," not that, "I have lost Him." First of all get Kṛṣṇa; then there is question of loss. But once you get, there is no more loss. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Once you get Kṛṣṇa, there is no more loss; you get it forever, and you enjoy with Kṛṣṇa.

Yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam: "From the eyes, torrents of rain is pouring." Śūnyāyitaṁ jagat sarvaṁ: "I see the whole world is void." Why? Govinda-viraheṇa me: "I cannot see Govinda." This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s teaching. Viraheṇa, always feeling separation of Kṛṣṇa, this is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s teaching. Not that "I have got now Kṛṣṇa." No. Caitanya Mahāprabhu never said. His direct disciples, the Gosvāmīs, they simply begged separation: "Where is Kṛṣṇa?" You know that verse. Six Gosvāmīs.

<div class="quote_verse">
:he rādhe vraja-devike ca lalite he nanda-sūno kutaḥ
:śrī-govardhana-kalpa-pādapa-tale kālindī-vane kutaḥ
:ghoṣantāv iti sarvato vraja-pure khedair mahā-vihvalau 
:vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī jīva-gopālakau
</div>

Not only Caitanya Mahāprabhu, but all His disciples. This is our process. Feeling seperation from Kṛṣṇa, and to become mad after Kṛṣṇa. This is perfection. Always feeling separation for Kṛṣṇa. Just like if you love somebody, it is very common thing when a child dies, mother becomes mad, cries like madman, madwoman, that person dies. But one who has once cried in separation for Kṛṣṇa, that crying is not stopped; that will continue.

So Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught that way. That is that if you want to cry for Kṛṣṇa, then no more crying for this material world. Finished. If you can once learn how to cry for Kṛṣṇa, then you will no more cry for this material world. That is Vedānta. Try to feel separation for Kṛṣṇa, separation from this nonsense material world. Everyone is suffering or hankering, Either hankering . . . one who hasn’t got, he is hankering, and one who has but lost it, he is lamenting. This is the activity. But Kṛṣṇa consciousness means once you hanker after Kṛṣṇa, there will be no more lamentation. Here the lamentation is, "I could not find Kṛṣṇa," not that, "I have lost Him." First of all get Kṛṣṇa; then there is question of loss. But once you get, there is no more loss. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Once you get Kṛṣṇa, there is no more loss; you get it forever, and you enjoy with Kṛṣṇa . . . (indistinct) . . . this is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s philosophy.

So (break) Somehow or other you have come in contact with this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, and by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu we are establishing today, the auspicious day, Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
