680110 - Lecture SB 01.05.02 - Los Angeles

In the material world the varieties are reflection of the spiritual world. Here is also father, but this is imitation father. But there is also father, but that is not father, that is real father. It is imitation father. A friend is imitation friend. Real friend is Kṛṣṇa. Real father is Kṛṣṇa. Here husband, imitation husband. Real husband is Kṛṣṇa. Master, imitation master. Real master is Kṛṣṇa.

So in this way, if we establish our relationship with Kṛṣṇa as . . . either as husband or lover or master or friend or son or father, it is perfect. It is perfect. We have to go to that stage.
