1971 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: Just like Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, raso 'ham apsu kaunteya (BG 7.8): "I am the taste in the water." Now, this taste in the water is perpetual. When Kṛṣṇa was physically present or Kṛṣṇa is not physically present, this is a perpetual fact. Is it not? Do you think the taste in the water was different when Kṛṣṇa was present and the taste of water is different now?

Guest (1): No, it cannot be.

Prabhupāda: Similarly, He says, prabhāsmi śaśi-sūryayoḥ: "I am the shining of the sun and the moon." In this way, if you study what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then you'll find that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the only solution for that highest perfectional stage of happiness.

Prabhupāda: You will be never satisfied without Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Guest (1): What I mean was, was it really or were we at that time . . .

Prabhupāda: Which time? What do you mean "that time"?

Guest (1): "That time" means at the time of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Were we completely . . .

Prabhupāda: At the time of Kṛṣṇa . . . you are taking simply the portion of the time when Kṛṣṇa was present. You are saying about that. But Kṛṣṇa is present always.

Guest (1): Yes, but if you say that, in that way, then he gets . . . because . . . (indistinct)

Guest (1): We are giving names; therefore we become confused. Because in our God incarnation . . .

Prabhupāda: No, no. If there is name, why you be confused if your name is Mr. Such-and-such? But you do not know the name. That is the confusion.

Guest (1): Because so many names have been given to these same things . . .

Prabhupāda: But that is in the śāstra it is said: "There are so many names of God. Out of all of them, 'Kṛṣṇa' is the principal." God's name is given . . . just like Kṛṣṇa appeared as the son of Vasudeva; therefore He is called Vāsudeva. Kṛṣṇa played in Vṛndāvana as the son of Nanda Mahārāja and Yaśodā; therefore He is called Yaśodā-nandana. Kṛṣṇa acted as the driver, chariot driver Arjuna. Therefore He is known as Pārtha-sārathī.

So His name . . . all these names are according to His different activities. So He has got unlimited activities, and therefore He has got unlimited names. So out of all these names, 'Kṛṣṇa' is the supreme or the prime, because 'Kṛṣṇa' means all-attractive. 'Kṛṣṇa' means all-attractive. So God, if God is not all-attractive, He cannot be God. So one God is attractive for me, another God is attractive for him . . . that supreme God.
