<div class="heading">Just like there is small fire in the charcoal. You fan it, and it will gradually become a big fire. So this Krsna consciousness movement is fanning that spiritual spark to come into full consciousness. Go on fanning like that. That is the rules and regulation, attending this class, hearing this Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita. Twenty-four hours be engaged. That is real business.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 1.15.44 -- Los Angeles, December 22, 1973|Lecture on SB 1.15.44 -- Los Angeles, December 22, 1973]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Isvara, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is staying within the heart of everyone. So within the heart for everyone, if He can come out, so what is the difficulty for Him, from within the womb of somebody He can come? What is the difference between heart and womb? And Krsna entered within the womb of Maharaja Pariksit's mother to save Maharaja Pariksit. So Krsna can do anything. Therefore Kunti said that antar bahih: "Krsna is within and without. Still, we cannot see." Krsna is within and without, both ways, but we cannot see either within or without. This is called maya. This is called maya.</p>
<p>So this is the problem. But that is not the problem for Krsna. But that is problem for us. Because we are very minute spark of Krsna, as the spark has the chance of being extinguished out of the fire, similarly, being separated from Krsna, being entangled in this material energy, we have forgotten. Our spiritual quality, burning quality, just like fire, that is now extinguished. It is not exactly extinguished: almost extinguished. We have forgotten. But it can be again brought into the original position by fanning. Just like there is small fire in the charcoal. You fan it, and it will gradually become a big fire. So this Krsna consciousness movement is fanning that spiritual spark to come into full consciousness. Go on fanning like that. That is the rules and regulation, attending this class, hearing this Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita. Twenty-four hours be engaged. That is real business. Dhyayan, always, constantly, hrdi brahma param dhyayan. Dhyayan means medi... This is meditation. And who is Parabrahman? Krsna. Param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan ([[Vanisource:BG 10.12|BG 10.12]]).</p>
<p>So this is the process. You simply think of Krsna twenty-four hours, dhyayan. That is the process. We are engaged in the Deity worship of Krsna. We are engaged in chanting Krsna's name. We are engaged in Krsna's business or Krsna's propaganda. In this way, if you simply think of Krsna twenty-four..., if you, I mean to say, make your life with that spirit, Krsna... This is Krsna consciousness, twenty-four hours. Satatam smartavyo visnuh. The process if only thinking of Krsna in different engagements. The process, real process, is to think of Krsna. Then hrdi, "within the heart," hrdi brahma param dhyayan navarteta yato gatah, then you will be transferred to the Krsna-loka. Because you are thinking of Krsna always. So tyaktva deham punar janma naiti ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9|BG 4.9]]). After giving up this body, you will not have any more material body. Yad gatva na nivartante ([[Vanisource:BG 15.6|BG 15.6]]). You will reach immediately. Tyaktva deham punah, mam eti, immediately. As there are different forces, material forces, then subtler than the matter, mind, mind's force, similarly, there is spiritual force. Mind force, you know. You are sitting here. Immediately, within a second, you can go thousands of miles away, immediately. That is mind's force. And the spiritual force is still more greater than the mind's force. So tyaktva deham, as soon as you give up this body, immediately, within a second, you reach Krsna-loka. That is perfection.</p>
