<div class="heading">And Kṛṣṇa, because you have no direct touch of Kṛṣṇa, therefore you take shelter of Kṛṣṇa's representative. Then this yuñjan begins.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on BG 7.1 -- Melbourne, June 29, 1974 (New-2003)|Lecture on BG 7.1 -- Melbourne, June 29, 1974 ]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
''Kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya. Yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo.'' By the mercy of ''guru'', you get the mercy of Kṛṣṇa. If . . . if ''guru'' approves, that "Here is a nice devotee," then Kṛṣṇa accepts, "Yes, here is a nice devotee."

So therefore ''yasya prasādād'', our business is to please ''guru''. If he is satisfied, then Kṛṣṇa immediately becomes satisfied, because he is the agent. That is very easy to understand. Suppose you are working in office. Your immediate boss, the superintendent, if he is pleased, that means the managing director is also pleased. You haven't got to please the managing director separately. If you please his representative, then the managing director sees the report, "Yes, this man is working nice." That he will accept. He has never seen him. But that is not the fact. Kṛṣṇa also seeing you.

So this is called ''mad-āśritāḥ. Yuñjan . . . mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ'' ([[vanisource:BG 7.1 (1972)|BG 7.1]]). You have to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa. And Kṛṣṇa . . . because you have no direct touch of Kṛṣṇa, therefore you take shelter of Kṛṣṇa's representative. Then this ''yuñjan'' begins. He will teach you how to practice the ''bhakti-yoga'', how to worship Him, how to think of Him, how to offer obeisances, how to observe the ceremonies. Just like yesterday we perfomed the ceremonies, Ratha-yātrā, so this dress, Jagannātha dress, and function, everything you have to learn. This is called ''bhakti-yoga'', ''mad-āśrayaḥ.'' And this, the beginning is ''mayy āsakta-manāḥ. Āsakti. Āsakti'', we have to develop attachment. If you do not develop attachment for Kṛṣṇa, then other things does not come.
