<div class="heading">Even Lord Zetland, when he was given this formula for becoming advanced in spiritual consciousness, he flatly replied, "It is impossible for us." Yes.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Arrival Address -- Los Angeles, February 9, 1975|Arrival Address -- Los Angeles, February 9, 1975]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
:''nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-bhakti sādhya kabhu naya''
:''śravaṇādi-śuddha-citte karaye udaya''
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.107|CC Madhya 22.107]])

''Udaya'' means awakening. It is not an artificial way of giving something, imposing something to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. No. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness is there, in everyone's heart. It has to be awakened by certain process. That process is ''śravaṇa-kīrtana'', nine different types of devotional service.

:''śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ''
:''smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam''
:''arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ''
:''sakhyam ātma-nivedanam''
:([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]])

So anywhere . . . It doesn't matter, either in India or outside. People thought like that, that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the monopoly business for the Indians or for the Hindus. They were thinking like that: "It cannot be preached. Nobody will take it." But I thought, "If Kṛṣṇa is God, why it will not be taken by everyone? It must be taken." So I was not very much hopeful to become successful. When I was in Boston port, I wrote one poetry that "I do not know why I have been brought here. How these people will take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness? As soon as I will say these four regulative principles, they will ask me to go away." (laughter) It is very difficult for this country or this part of the world to follow the four principles of regulative life: no illicit sex, no gambling, no meat-eating and no intoxication. Even Lord Zetland, when he was given this formula for becoming advanced in spiritual consciousness, he flatly replied, "It is impossible for us." Yes. But impossible thing can be made possible by the grace of Kṛṣṇa. That is possible—Kṛṣṇa is all-powerful—provided we are serious and sincere. That is the main business. We must be very serious and sincere. Then Kṛṣṇa will give you intelligence.
