Prabhupāda: So where is the difficulty to understand Kṛṣṇa? (laughs) Every moment you can remember Kṛṣṇa. Every moment you can see Kṛṣṇa, provided you have got eyes. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti (Bs. 5.38). Santaḥ. So you have to become a santa, perfect santa. Then you'll see Kṛṣṇa always.

Mr. Sar: Jīvanaṁ sarva-bhūteṣu tapaś cāsmi tapasviṣu (BG 7.9).

Dr. Patel: The very life of every individual is Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Dr. Patel: Jīvanaṁ sarva-bhūteṣu.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So without Kṛṣṇa, as soon as . . . so long the Paramātmā is there . . . or the jīva is there. Jīva is also Kṛṣṇa, because part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, acintya-bhedābheda. So, so long Kṛṣṇa is there, either as ātmā or Paramātmā, then the body's moving. But the so-called scientists, they do not know. Therefore they do not understand what is Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. I know. In California University he was there. So one of, one of my students, he's also professor in the . . . Dr. Svarūpa Dāmodara. He challenged that, "Suppose if I give you the chemicals, can you produce life?" That time he said: "That I cannot say." From that day, his meeting was not attended by the students. Yes. He theoretically said that, "From chemicals life has come into existence."

Dr. Patel: As a matter of fact . . .

Prabhupāda: No.

Dr. Patel: . . . life keeps the chemicals together. As soon as the life goes away, the chemicals dissolve.

Dr. Patel: Always fact.

Mr. Sar: So still we are researching it.

Prabhupāda: No . . .

Dr. Patel: There is no research . . .

Prabhupāda: That is . . . but when the fact is there, what is the use of your researching? When the fact is already there, what is the use of your so-called researching?

Indian man (3): How we can see Kṛṣṇa?

Prabhupāda: That is being explained.
