The mantra is like a flower airplane. Okay, so far? Is everyone's good ? Okay, so it's ready to take us up, and we have to, of course, board the plane. That's our job. The aircraft comes. The flower airplane is there, but we have to be ready to board the plane means you have to have a ticket in hand, means enthusiasm to chant. And when you go to the airport, they announce certain things. They ask you questions before you get on the board. One of them is, has anyone unknown to you given you anything to carry? Have they ever asked you that? They also ask you, did you pack your own bags? Or Did anybody else pack them? Put something in your bag?

So when we're preparing to board the airplane, we have to know who gave us what's in our consciousness. Has our awareness been under our control at all times? Has anybody unknown to you, like some random person on the internet and on TikTok given you something to hold in your mind of unknown origin? It is just random because it could be dangerous,. And so we have to prepare ourselves and get a ticket.

In the United Airlines website for the boarding process, they say we are dedicated to providing convenience and comfort throughout your journey with United and are always looking for ways to improve your overall experience. So in the same way, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanting to give everyone an opportunity to board the flight back to Goloka Vṛndāvan, gives this convenience of The holy name that anybody can board. They're just a few simple rules to get on the flight. You have to be sincere and you have to show up. And then there's avoiding the 10 offenses, a few prerequisites for boarding. So that's our part. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given the ultimate convenience that in this age, all you have to do is chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.
