1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

If we accept this process and advance in devotional service, then God will talk with us. He is with us, every one of us, and He is guiding us, but He gives directly guiding to the devotee. This is practical solution. If you become devotee, God will talk with you and give you direct instruction.

Yogeśvara:

teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ
bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam
dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ
yena mām upayānti te
(BG 10.10)

(reads French translation)

Prabhupāda: Purport.

Yogeśvara: (reads purport in French. Prabhupāda asks people outside room to stop talking twice during reading)

Prabhupāda: So if we accept this process and advance in devotional service, then God will talk with us. He is with us, every one of us, and He is guiding us, but He gives directly guiding to the devotee. This is practical solution. If you become devotee, God will talk with you and give you direct instruction. (pause) Any question?

Yogeśvara: (translating) This lady asks when one is too old and with too many responsibilities, what can one do?

Prabhupāda: There is no responsibilities—all false, māyā. Everyone is maintained by God. It is our false conception that I am giving protection to anybody. That is false. Just like a man is diseased and we are giving help, medical help, first-class physician, first-class medicine—still he dies. So if God desires that this man must die now, your medical help or physician help will not act. And if God desires that this man must live, then even without your medical help and physician, he will live. Then where is your responsibility?

American lady: Are you against medical help? I mean, you want just to let Kṛṣṇa do His way and not let the doctors help at all? I mean, don't go a doctor, just rely on Kṛṣṇa to help you?

Prabhupāda: Yes, Kṛṣṇa will help you. It is Kṛṣṇa's help that will be counted, not your help or my help. Therefore, it is said in the Bhagavad-gītā, suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati
