Conversations and Morning Walks

1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prapatti means bhakti. Just like I can surrender unto you when I have got full faith and devotion unto you. Otherwise, I cannot.

Room Conversation with devotees about Twelfth Canto Kali-yuga, and Conversation with Guest -- June 15, 1974, Paris:

French Woman: I guess if you have the idea of prapatti, of surrender...

Prabhupāda: Yes.

French Woman: ...this is a way to God directly.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is... That is the real process.

French Woman: But it is not yoga. It is different from yoga?

Prabhupāda: No, it is bhakti-yoga.

French Woman: Prapatti is different.

Prabhupāda: Prapatti is bhakti-yoga.

French Woman: You take it in bhakti?

Prabhupāda: Bhakti, yes. Prapatti means bhakti. Just like I can surrender unto you when I have got full faith and devotion unto you. Otherwise, I cannot. That is wanted. If we simply surrender to God, then everything is complete. Therefore in the Bhagavad-gītā, the prapati is described, bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate (BG 7.19), this word: "After many, many births of philosophical speculation or personal endeavor to understand what is God, when he's actually wise, he surrenders unto Me." And it is said next line, vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ: (BG 7.19) "Vasudeva, Kṛṣṇa, is everything." When he understands this, then his knowledge is perfect. But such kind of mahātmā, great soul, is very rare to be seen." (French)
