Just like your father has given you so many things and you are obliged, "Oh, our father is maintaining us." And if you cook something and give it to the father first, "My dear father, I have cooked this. It is very nice. You first of all . . ." "Oh, it is very nice? All right, give me." The father will be so much pleased: "Oh, here is my dear son." It is father's property. You cannot give anything to the father.
Similarly, you have nothing to offer to Kṛṣṇa. Simply you have to become little intelligent. That's all. Not rascal. If you remain rascal, then your human life is spoiled. If you become little intelligent, then your human life is successful.

it is said . . . as it is said in the Vedic literature, premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti (Bs. 5.38): we have to create our eyes or purify our eyes to see God. And that purification is possible when you apply the ointment of love of God, daily. How to love Kṛṣṇa? Take it as ointment. As we apply some ointment to increase the sight of our eyes . . . doctor gives some prescription. We use it also. So similarly, how to see God? You will see God with these eyes when it is clarified. Premāñjana-cchurita, by the ointment of love of Godhead.

So these are the function, how to love. One has to rise early in the morning. He doesn't like, but, "No. I will have to satisfy Kṛṣṇa." This is the beginning. "Oh, I have to chant sixteen rounds." He is lazy. He doesn't want to do it. But if he loves Kṛṣṇa, he must do it. He must do it.

So in the beginning we have to learn how to love, but when you come to the stage, oh, there is no question of . . . you may follow the regulative principle or not, because love is there. But don't imitate.

Just like in our ordinary love affairs, if I want to love some girl, I bring some flower, I bring some presentation. In this way she thinks, "Oh, it is very nice boy. He has brought me this, that." In this way there are six principles of love. Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti (Upadeśāmṛta 4). You have to give and you have to take. I love somebody. I give him something: "My dear, you take this." And when he offers also, if he also loves you, he also return you. Not exactly for returning. It is love to give and take.

Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati ca. Opening mind, "My dear lover, I like this," and the other party also opens his mind. Guhyam ākhyāti . . . guhyam means very confidential things. Ākhyāti, disclosed, exchanged. Guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati ca. And bhuṅkte bhojayate caiva, and giving the lover to eat something and accept from him some eatable. These are the six ways of increasing love.

If you act in that way with Kṛṣṇa . . . you are taking so many things from Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is giving you everything. Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). Whatever our necessities of life, that is being supplied by Kṛṣṇa. We are taking these fruits, flowers, grains. It is not possible to manufacture these in your factory. It is Kṛṣṇa sending, Kṛṣṇa giving you.

So we are living at the cost of Kṛṣṇa, and after cooking these fruits, flowers or grains, if we do not offer to Kṛṣṇa, is that very good gentlemanliness? I take so much from you, and simply, nicely, and very cleanly cooking the foodstuff, if we offer to Kṛṣṇa, then what is the wrong there? The rascals, they say: "Oh, they are heathens. They are worshiping some stone." Just see.

So these are all less intelligent person. God eats. Kṛṣṇa says: tad aham aśnāmi. "I eat."

Kṛṣṇa says that, "My devotee, when he brings something within the categories of vegetables, grains and fruits, because he has brought with devotion and love, I eat them." So when the devotee offers with devotion and love, "Kṛṣṇa, You have given us so many nice things. So I have cooked it. Kindly You take first," oh, how it is nice.

Just like your father has given you so many things and you are obliged, "Oh, our father is maintaining us." And if you cook something and give it to the father first, "My dear father, I have cooked this. It is very nice. You first of all . . ." "Oh, it is very nice? All right, give me." The father will be so much pleased: "Oh, here is my dear son." It is father's property. You cannot give anything to the father.

Similarly, you have nothing to offer to Kṛṣṇa. Simply you have to become little intelligent. That's all. Not rascal. If you remain rascal, then your human life is spoiled. If you become little intelligent, then your human life is successful.

This is intelligence that, "God is giving us . . . God is giving us daily bread. Why not offer to God first?" That is intelligence. And simply, "God is giving me bread. I shall eat. That's all . . ." I am meant for eating only? And why not offering? God will not eat?

Simply you feel gratitude: "Oh, God has given me this bread. Let me offer it to God first of all. Then I take." What is the wrong there? What is loss there?

But these narādhama, lowest of the mankind, they even do not recognize this. Lowest of . . . they have been described in Bhagavad . . . narādhama. Na māṁ duṣkṛtina mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ, māyayāpahṛta-jñānā ([[Vanisource:BG 7.15 (1972)|BG 7.15]]). His intelligence, his knowledge, has been taken away by māyā.

He has not this knowledge even that, "God has given me to eat. Why not offer first of all to God?" This intelligence has been taken away by māyā. Therefore they are narādhama. Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ.

So those who are narādhama, lowest of the mankind . . . just like here, something being offered to Kṛṣṇa, to God, He will eat it, but He will leave everything for you as prasādam. How? Pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate.

Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam eva avaśiṣyate ([[Vanisource:ISO Invocation|ISO Invocation]]). This is God's power. He will eat everything, but He will keep everything for you as prasādam. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya. Taking everything, but still, it is there.

So this is the process, how to increase your attachment for Kṛṣṇa. This bhakti-yoga, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, is nothing . . . we do not say that, "You Christian, you are good. I am Hindu, I am bad." Or "You are bad, I am good." We don't say that. We simply say that, "It is your right now, this human form of body, how to love God." That's all. "You have loved so long dog. Now you try to love God."
