1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

Everyone, yes, oh, yes, everyone.
Room Conversation with Ganesa dasa's Mother and Sister -- May 14, 1975, Perth:

Sister: Has everyone the potential to accept Kṛṣṇa?

Prabhupāda: Everyone, yes, oh, yes, everyone.

Sister: But what about people that are never..., that are always kept in ignorance. There's a lot of people...

Prabhupāda: He does not take. He does not take willingly.

Sister: That's what I mean, yeah. There's a lot of people that just don't even know He exists.

Prabhupāda: But if he takes, he has the potentiality. If you agree... Kṛṣṇa said, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam... (BG 18.66). If you agree to Kṛṣṇa's proposal, then you will, that potentiality is manifested.

Sister: But what about people that are never exposed to Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

It is not joke to remain ten months within the packed-up abdomen of the mother. Is it very pleasant, do you think? If you are kept in that way now, you will die within three seconds. In that condition you have to live ten months. So how much suffering it was!
