Woman: If we are all liberated in the end, and if we all reach Godhead, why is it necessary to speed up the process?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Madhudvīṣa: She is saying that if we all reach Godhead in the end, why do we have to speed up the process? Why not we just let things take their natural course of events if everyone's going back to Godhead ultimately?
Prabhupāda: Hmm. That is a good suggestion, but you rot for the time being. Suppose you are going somewhere, walking, and somebody gives you opportunity, "Come in my car," why don't you take advantage of it? You are. . . You will reach the destination by walking in six thousand years, (laughter) but if you get the opportunity. . . In your country there is good. . . there is staircase and there is elevator. So if you want to go, that "I shall go by the staircase and reach the upstair at the end of the day when office will be finished," (laughter) then you can do that. But if you are intelligent, you shall take the advantage of the elevator; within a minute you go there. That is intelligence. "I am going. I shall reach at the end of the day when every office will be closed. Then I will come down again." (laughter) If you look that, that you can do—very good intelligence. That is not intelligence. We have to take the speediest process. That is intelligence. Hmm. Yes?
Devotee (3): Śrīla Prabhupāda, if a devotee fills his life with devotional service right from the time he is born, is that enough to attain the spiritual body? Will he necessarily be. . .
Prabhupāda: Yes, he is liking to serve me, that is the action of the spiritual body.
