Sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ (BG 8.6). And if we die in that Kṛṣṇa consciousness, yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran loke tyajaty ante kalevaram . . . in the particular type of consciousness, when one gives up this body, then he is transferred into that position next life.

So possession in the mind. Actually you don't possess. Mānasa deha geha. So by that supposingly possessing, we have got our mind, we have got our body, then expansion of body—wife, children, family, society, country. In this way we possess so many things. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says, mānasa deha geha, yo kichu mora: "Now whatever I possess—either in the mind or in the family or in the society or in the body—whatever I have got, I surrender unto You, my dear Kṛṣṇa."

Mānasa deha geha, yo kichu . . . arpinū tuā pade nanda kiśora: "Nanda-kiśora, O the son of Nanda, I give You, unto You." Marobi rakhobi, yo icchā tohāra: "Now, whatever You like, You can do, either You kill me or You protect me, as You like. You are the proprietor. You have right to do everything." This is surrender. This is full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But that is not possible immediately; therefore we have to practice. Sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ (BG 8.6). And if we die in that Kṛṣṇa consciousness, yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran loke tyajaty ante kalevaram . . . in the particular type of consciousness, when one gives up this body, then he is transferred into that position next life.

So in this way, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, if we are able, sadā tad-bhāva, by practicing always, constantly, that situation of consciousness, then next life, after giving up . . . why next life? This life also. One person who is in always Kṛṣṇa's service this life or that life, he is with Kṛṣṇa. He is with Kṛṣṇa. Any person within Kṛṣṇa consciousness is always with Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is everywhere. I may not understand, but Kṛṣṇa is everywhere.

So you American boys and girls, you should take to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You'll be happy. Your position is to take up, because you are on the top of the material happiness. Now you take it. You be saved. Otherwise this frustration is coming. That will come. Just like C. R. Das. He, out of that frustration, he gave up everything. He sacrificed his life for political. And what is that value of that sacrifice? You may become a great man of your country in the estimation of your people, but not in the estimation of Kṛṣṇa. You may become a great man in the estimation of your country, but in others' estimation, your enemy, "Oh, this man is dead. Now our enemy is finished. That's nice."
