Nanda-kiśora: Swamijī, what is... The material elements are described, the mind, intelligence, and false ego. What's the, what is that mind, you know, that material mind? In other words, there's a spiritual mind and a material mind?
We have to keep ourselves always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Īhā yasya harer dāsye''. And what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Kṛṣṇa consciousness means to . . . ''Īhā''. ''Īhā'' means desire. Desire is a function of mind. So ''īhā'' means desire. So what is that desire? ''Īhā yasya harer dāsye'': anyone whose desire is to engage himself in the service of Kṛṣṇa.


Prabhupāda: What is the difference of your material life and spiritual life?
So whole Kṛṣṇa consciousness activity is purification of the mind, of the intelligence, of the ego, everything, purifying process. ''Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). The impurification is that ''upādhi'', designation. I'm thinking, "I am American," "I am Indian." This is designation. Actually, spirit soul is neither American nor Indian nor Hindu nor Muslim. So one has to get out of this entanglement, material entanglement. ''Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]).


Nanda-kiśora: One is for Kṛṣṇa, and one is for...
And how one can become purified? ''Tat-paratvena'', when he identifies himself ''ahaṁ brahmāsmi'', "I am servant of Kṛṣṇa. I am Brahman, I am pure self. I'm not matter. I'm not this body." This is the stage of purification. And when one is purified, then ''hṛṣīkena hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate. Hṛṣīka'' means senses. So mind is also one of the senses. There are eleven senses: five senses gathering knowledge and five senses working, and mind is the center. So mind is also accepted as sense. So ''hṛṣīkena hṛṣīkeśa-sevanam'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). When your purified senses are applied in the service of the master of the senses, Hṛṣīkeśa, that is called ''bhakti''. This is the definition of ''bhakti''.


Prabhupāda: That is the difference between material mind and spiritual mind. Because you are thinking that you are this body, this is material conception. Therefore everything is material—mind, intelligence, and identification, everything material. Similarly, if you think, that thinking means mind, that you are Kṛṣṇa's, then everything is spiritual. That we have to practice. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We have to keep ourselves always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Īhā yasya harer dāsye. And what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Kṛṣṇa consciousness means to...

When your purified senses are applied in the service of the master of the senses, Hṛṣīkeśa, that is called bhakti. This is the definition of bhakti. So mind required there. You are thinking that "I shall decorate Kṛṣṇa in such a way." That is a function of mind. And as soon as you think that "I shall decorate my such and such person in this way," that is māyā. So mind is there. Sometimes it is acting for māyā, and when it is acting for Kṛṣṇa then it is purified. So in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness nothing has to be eradicated. Everything has to be purified. This is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness process.


We have to keep ourselves always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Īhā yasya harer dāsye. And what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Kṛṣṇa consciousness means to . . . Īhā. Īhā means desire. Desire is a function of mind. So īhā means desire. So what is that desire? Īhā yasya harer dāsye: anyone whose desire is to engage himself in the service of Kṛṣṇa.

So whole Kṛṣṇa consciousness activity is purification of the mind, of the intelligence, of the ego, everything, purifying process. Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170). The impurification is that upādhi, designation. I'm thinking, "I am American," "I am Indian." This is designation. Actually, spirit soul is neither American nor Indian nor Hindu nor Muslim. So one has to get out of this entanglement, material entanglement. Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170).

And how one can become purified? Tat-paratvena, when he identifies himself ahaṁ brahmāsmi, "I am servant of Kṛṣṇa. I am Brahman, I am pure self. I'm not matter. I'm not this body." This is the stage of purification. And when one is purified, then hṛṣīkena hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate. Hṛṣīka means senses. So mind is also one of the senses. There are eleven senses: five senses gathering knowledge and five senses working, and mind is the center. So mind is also accepted as sense. So hṛṣīkena hṛṣīkeśa-sevanam (CC Madhya 19.170). When your purified senses are applied in the service of the master of the senses, Hṛṣīkeśa, that is called bhakti. This is the definition of bhakti.

So mind required there. You are thinking that "I shall decorate Kṛṣṇa in such a way." That is a function of mind. And as soon as you think that, "I shall decorate my such-and-such person in this way," that is māyā. So mind is there. Sometimes it is acting for māyā, and when it is acting for Kṛṣṇa, then it is purified. So in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness nothing has to be eradicated. Everything has to be purified. This is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness process.
