Guest (1): You mean I experience the seven months of being in a sleeping state?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Guest (1): And I am aware of it?
Prabhupāda: Yes. You are aware, but you are a little deep, deep sleep. Just like I remember my chloroform case. So I remember very slightly, but there is remembrance. The consciousness is still there, but for some time it is curbed down. So if you become Kṛṣṇa conscious once, even if at that time you are so-called unconscious, still, Kṛṣṇa is with you—He is not forgetful. He is not forgetful. Therefore He will give you the proper result.
Don't think that at the . . . at the time of your death, because you are so completely out of consciousness, therefore there is frustration. No. There is no frustration. There is no frustration. Because your activities are already recorded by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated within your heart, so therefore there is no question of frustration. You just practice. While you are in good health, while you are in good body, while you are in good consciousness, just practice this Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, and the result is guaranteed.
Guest (2): Does any physical change take place in your body when you become Kṛṣṇa conscious?
Prabhupāda: Yes. There are so many physical changes. We have seen it practically. Yes. Some of our student, so long he was here, he was so nice. He was so glowing. And as soon as he has left, he has become just like damn rascal. Yes. We are experiencing practically. There are so many instances. Because my face is the index of mind, so similarly, what is going on within you, that will be reflected. That will be reflected.
Caitanya Mahāprabhu was asked that, "How can I understand . . .?" One of His disciple inquired from Caitanya Mahāprabhu, "How can I understand that a man is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness?" He immediately replied: "If you see a man and at once you remember Kṛṣṇa, you must know that he is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness." It is such a nice thing. By seeing the face, by seeing the appearance of a person, if you remember Kṛṣṇa, you should know that, "This man is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness." So there is change of physical feature also.
Guest (2): Isn't that a mental manifestation, like if you feel that someone's Kṛṣṇa conscious? It's not a physical manifestation, right?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes, physical . . . physical change, physical, I mean to say, body is no impediment, simply because you are aloof from physical body always. That we have explained. So if you take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then your physical impediments will not be a check. Ahaituky apratihatā yayātmā suprasīdati (SB 1.2.6).
You'll feel yourself transcendentally joyful in spite of your physical . . . present physical body. You'll . . . just like if you eat, you'll know yourself that you are eating, you are feeling strength, you are getting enlightened, similarly, if you take this process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, in spite of your present physical body, you'll know that you are having something transcendental. That feeling will come with you.
