Prabhupāda:
- . . . jīvanaṁ sarva-bhūtānām
- jīvanaṁ sarva-bhūteṣu
- tapaś cāsmi tapasviṣu
- (BG 7.9)
So if we want to realize God, it is very simple; there is no difficulty. But unfortunately we do not want. That is our disease. Somebody has objection to go to the temple: "Why shall I go to the temple?" That's all right, you do not go to the temple, but what is the harm to think of Kṛṣṇa, or God, when you drink water?
What is the loss? Suppose while you are drinking water, and as it is said in the Bhagavad-gītā, raso 'ham apsu kaunteya (BG 7.8), that taste, that nice taste of water, is God. So if we remember, smaraṇaṁ . . . smaraṇaṁ is one of the process of devotional service.
- śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ
- smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam
- arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ
- sakhyam ātma-nivedanam
- (SB 7.5.23)
So we can adopt either of all these processes—one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Even one is sufficient. If you cannot execute the nine different processes, one is also sufficient. It is so easy.
