Amogha:
- yoginām api sarveṣāṁ
- mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā
- śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ
- sa me yuktatamo mataḥ
- (BG 6.47)
Translation: "And of all yogīs, he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all."
Prabhupāda: This is bhakti-yoga.
Guest (3): Well, doesn't it mean that someone has to worship that person to be able to attain the enlightenment, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness?
Prabhupāda: Yes, everyone is worshiping a person. Everyone is . . . but we have to worship the Supreme Person. That is perfect. Everyone is worshiping a person. Suppose you are employed somewhere. You have to worship your boss. Otherwise no employment.
Guest (3): Oh, well, I consider it as a mutual . . .
Prabhupāda: It is mutual. It is mutual.
Guest (3): It's a mutual kind of support. But worshiping in a sense of religion or in a sense of a higher person, it's a different matter.
Prabhupāda: Worshiping means appreciating high qualities. Worshiping is not blind. If I know that you have some high qualities, I worship you.
Guest (3): Do you worship to a person or what? To his doctrines or . . .?
Prabhupāda: Worship means person. Worship does not mean imperson. Unless there is a person-to-person relationship, there is no question of worship.
