<div class="heading">Yes, that is Kṛṣṇa anxiety. That is Kṛṣṇa anxiety. If you become anxious how to worship Deity, how to dress Kṛṣṇa nicely, how to do, if you remain, that will develop your anxiety for Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Deity worship essential. Exactly in time to get up, to offer maṅgala-ārati, to dress, this anxiety is the beginning of Kṛṣṇa anxiety. Then, when you become perfect, you'll always be anxious for Kṛṣṇa. And that is perfectional stage. Therefore, by the injunction of the śāstra, regulative, it is a way of creating that anxiety. So we must follow. Then we'll come to the real anxiety.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- April 26, 1976, Melbourne|Morning Walk -- April 26, 1976, Melbourne]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Devotee (1): What if one keeps falling down from following the regulative principles?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He's falling down? If he's falling down from regulative principles, that means he's falling down to the material world. Falling down means falling down.</p>
<p>Devotee (2): (break) ...from the regulative principles and feels anxiety, then that anxiety is material anxiety.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Devotee (2): It's not spiritual.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So anxiety for one's self is māyā?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Anxiety for one's self is māyā?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is material.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: And anxiety for Kṛṣṇa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is spiritual. (break) ...Gosvāmī's śloka. Kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ krīyatāṁ yadi kuto 'pi labhyate: "The anxiety for Kṛṣṇa, if it can be purchased, immediately purchase it." Rūpa Gosvāmī said. Kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ krīyatām: "Just purchase Kṛṣṇa anxiety if it is available somewhere." So the next question will be that "What is the price?" Tatra laulyam api mūlyam ekalam: "That anxiety can be purchased by anxiety." "So I'll do it." No. Janma-koṭi-sukṛtair na labhyate: "That anxiety is not available even by millions of births' pious activities." So this anxiety is not so easy.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): So if we're performing the Deity worship and we get in anxiety, how to make it nice...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is Kṛṣṇa anxiety. That is Kṛṣṇa anxiety. If you become anxious how to worship Deity, how to dress Kṛṣṇa nicely, how to do, if you remain, that will develop your anxiety for Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Deity worship essential. Exactly in time to get up, to offer maṅgala-ārati, to dress, this anxiety is the beginning of Kṛṣṇa anxiety. Then, when you become perfect, you'll always be anxious for Kṛṣṇa. And that is perfectional stage. Therefore, by the injunction of the śāstra, regulative, it is a way of creating that anxiety. So we must follow. Then we'll come to the real anxiety.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: Not artificially.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): So therefore it is good that we have so much Deity worship to do that we're very, very busy and we do not have any time?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): We practically do not have enough time, but that is very good?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Enough time?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): To worship the Deity. We have so much to do.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So what enough time you want? To go to the cinema? (laughter) Then? Your time has to be occupied by Kṛṣṇa anxiety. That's all. And as soon as you go to other anxiety, then it is māyā.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: If we have four hours to dress the Deity, we can use the whole four hours. But sometimes we only have an hour and a half, so we have to rush. So that is anxiety.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, that anxiety does not mean this laziness, that "I am anxiety for four hours. Deity cannot be opened now. I am in anxiety." That is negligence. That is negligence. That is not anxiety.</p>
