Question: . . . person who comes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and has committed all these sinful activities in this lifetime. For instance, let's say a person has been in the . . . involved in the Vietnam War due to his relation with the material world and has been drawn into this activity. And now he's in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. How is he then relieved of the law of karma for his activity?
Prabhupāda: You come and live with us. That's all. Is it very difficult? Our students, they are living with us. You simply come and live with us—you are free from all karma. Is it difficult? Then do that. We shall give you food, we shall give you shelter, we shall give you nice philosophy. If you want to marry, we shall give you good wife. What you want more? So come and live with us. That's all.
That I've already explained: māṁ ca 'vyabhicāreṇa bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate (BG 14.26). We employ you immediately in the devotional service of Lord, and you become free. Kṛṣṇa says; not that we have concocted this idea. Kṛṣṇa says that, "Anyone who's engaged in My devotional service without any hypocrisy, avyabhicāreṇa, then immediately he's freed. Immediately." In another place Kṛṣṇa says:
- sarva-dharmān parityajya
- mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
- ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
- mokṣayiṣyāmi
- (BG 18.66)
So this assurance is there. You believe it and see, practically. You hear and you see practically what is being done. What is the difficulty?
So increase the volume of the Society. The whole world will be happy. That's a fact.
