Even though they are not sometimes following the routine work of cleanliness or something else, still, because he's sticking to the principle of worshiping Kṛṣṇa, he does not do anything else, then he's sādhu. He's sādhu. Only for that qualification. They are not going to any other demigods or form of God. They are sticking to the simple . . . mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja. This is required.

Guest (2): Can understand Lord Kṛṣṇa? It is . . . this knowledge of Him, perfect knowledge, is very difficult because . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. But that is the standard of perfect knowledge, to surrender to Kṛṣṇa.

Guest (2): Yes, but He is so easy that api cet su-durācāraḥ, it means we must surrender in what way? But . . .

Prabhupāda: Api cet su-durācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk. Ananya-bhāk, without deviating to any other thing, if one is simply sticking to worship Kṛṣṇa, that is called ananya-bhāk. Not that, "I am worshiping Kṛṣṇa sometimes, sometimes worshiping this, sometimes that."

No, not like that. Ananya-bhāk. One, concentrated. Such a person, even if he's found su-durācāraḥ, due to his past habits . . . just like these European boys and American boys. They have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness very seriously. But sometimes we find that they are not so clean according to the śāstra.

So that is supported. Even though they are not sometimes following the routine work of cleanliness or something else, still, because he's sticking to the principle of worshiping Kṛṣṇa, he does not do anything else, then he's sādhu. He's sādhu. Only for that qualification. They are not going to any other demigods or form of God. They are sticking to the simple . . . mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja. This is required.

This faith, that as Caitanya-caritāmṛta kaṛacā says: kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya (CC Madhya 22.62). This is the faith, the beginning of faith. If one is strongly believing that "If I worship Kṛṣṇa, then everything will be done nicely," that is called ananya-bhāk. And if we want to worship Kṛṣṇa for some purpose and another, some purpose, that is not ananya-bhāk. His su-durācāra will not be accepted. But if he sticks to Kṛṣṇa only, then his su-durācāra will be excused. (break) . . . other Muslim.
