You might feel overwhelmed by circumstances, if that's ever happened to anybody, because there's a lot of pressure to perform in the world, academically, socially, and when we take to the water of hearing and chanting, like we're doing here on Youth Jam, it's a natural way we feel revived. What to speak of, we grow. I mean, there are so many ways in which, by watering the heart and the seed within the heart, which is the sincerity to become closer, to come closer to Kṛṣṇa, then it happens quite naturally, as naturally as when you water a plant, it grows.

Some of the ways that are naturally effective are to hear in the association of like-minded devotees who are more advanced than oneself. That was a suggestion that Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave to Sanātana Gosvāmī, and it's also mentioned in the Bhāgavatam, a phrase that I picked out when reading Prabhupāda's purports. He said that the holes of the ear appear to be very small, but actually, once the sound goes in, it's as big as the sky. It's unlimited. It's not that you'll fill up, "I've heard enough and now that's it," but you can continue hearing and hearing, you'll never find a satiation point. So, these two points are helpful in calibrating how we continue our devotional service and how to position ourselves so we make advancement here, in the association of like-minded devotees who are more advanced than oneself. If you're the smartest one in the room, you're in the wrong room. Try to be in the room where there are people more advanced than you.

In His life, Caitanya Mahāprabhu set an example. Although He was Viṣṇu, He came in disguise. He's known as the channa-avatāra. So I already said what avatāra means, and channa means covered. So there's a way in which He was acting a part. What kind of part was He acting? The part of His own devotee. That is, He came—He's God—but He acted as a devotee of Himself to show by example. Now, you may teach a child how to write letters, the letter-writing ceremony, and the child's first letters. And you take the hand and say, "Okay, you make an A like this, and then B and so forth." And one shouldn't think that, "Oh, the parent is learning," or "the person the teacher is learning how to write, because look how deliberately they're writing. And they must be learning the alphabet." No, they're teaching it to someone else by example, by taking their hand and then showing how to do it. So that's the same way that God comes, in a way, a didactic way, to show, "Here's how to follow the tenets of Bhagavad-gītā.

I was just thinking Kṛṣṇa consciousness means Kṛṣṇa's family, and all of the elements that everyone's looking for in their life, for loving exchanges, is there in Kṛṣṇa's pastimes with His mother, His father, His friends, and so forth, but also in the association with devotees. We have Godbrothers, Godsisters, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandchildren—everything's there, only on a spiritual platform. And so I was just appreciating, I could say, after many years in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that one of the aspects that I relish the most is being with my Godbrothers or Godsisters. And as time goes on, it becomes more relishable, because it's obviously rarer. There are fewer of us. So just thinking to say, take advantage of the deep friendships that you have, the loving exchanges. Rūpa Gosvāmī puts it in his book on devotional service, and says, "dadāti pratigṛhṇāti, guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati, bhuṅkte bhojayate caiva, ṣaḍ-vidhaṁ prīti-lakṣaṇam"—that have these loving exchanges with the devotees, because it's a mainstay of the process of devotional service. Do you agree? Do you want to say anything about it?

When I was just in Māyāpur, one of the events during our stay there was the opening of the Prabhupāda Museum. So I went there by invitation, and one of the aspects that I was treated to was a couple of Godbrothers that I hadn't seen in a long time were sitting outside the museum talking. So I joined in the conversation, and one of them said to me, "My aspiration in this last stage of my life is to realize the verse of Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura: 'There's nothing else to be had in the fourteen worlds except the holy name.'" And of course, I've heard that many times before, and I've also quoted it myself, but hearing it from a Godbrother who's serious—a stalwart, had a special effect on me, and it became a meditation of mine. And it made the chanting of my rounds even more relishable. Because I was thinking, "Where else is there to go? There's nothing else to be had in the fourteen worlds except The Holy Name," and full permission just to be completely present with the Mahāmantra. And what's more, to put it at the very top of my list for priorities, is to hear, chant, remember The Holy Name, and don't worry—everything else will be obtained by chanting The Holy Names without offense.

Conclusion: Give up all self-interested desire and serve Kṛṣṇa, and hear Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in the association of devotees, to come to that point of complete purification of intention and purpose. Pray by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. "Please, Kṛṣṇa, if You so desire, remove any last vestiges of desire for material enjoyment from my heart."

We're in the right company at the right time, and our CEO, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, has all the right values, and He wants all of us to be spiritually wealthy. All we have to do is to invest every day, or, if you like, if you don't mind being extremely spiritually wealthy, you could just invest all the time. Nobody can stop you, and there's no limit to it, and there are no layoffs. So we can only lay ourselves off. Lord Caitanya won't do it. We should do the best we can to take advantage of this greatest wealth, because there's nothing else to be had within the fourteen worlds, except for The Holy Name.

Prabhupāda said, "Come to Vṛndāvana for three days or three years." Three years means you have some bona fide service you've been appointed to perform in the Dhāma, or you're here to take a little time to experience the Dhāma, but come here very carefully, gingerly, walk with humility to the various places. And don't assume that you're a great rasika Vaiṣṇava, because you're here. And this is indicated in this prayer of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura. He was meticulous in inculcating this mood with his disciples, because there's a way in which one may assume and then not have access. So what gives us qualification? As Madhavānanda Prabhu was saying the other day, to enter, we have to have a passport and visa. It means you are given some permission to enter by your Guru, and you're seriously coming in with a mission to serve and to become a better servitor.

When we're facing externally, we've turned away, and we don't realize our relationship. But when we do turn towards Kṛṣṇa, we become insiders, that means we're inside Kṛṣṇa. We're inside the family again. In Gajendra's prayers, Gajendra remarks that, "My Lord, You're never inattentive to me. It's not that when I pray, then that's when You pay attention." He said, "You're always paying attention." In fact, we're intimately connected with Kṛṣṇa, and we're never intimately connected with the material world. 'Asango hi dhyayam puruṣaḥ,' means we never really have a connection here. So, when we come to devotional service by choice, Gajendra says, then You're immediately responsive, because You're already just waiting.

In 1.2.17 of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, 'svakītaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ', the Prabhupāda writes in the purport that Kṛṣṇa wants us to come back to Godhead more than we can desire. He said, "Practically nobody wants to go back to Godhead, but Kṛṣṇa wants everybody to go back to Godhead and be insiders."

So that's in this verse, samo ’haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu, na me dveṣyo ’sti na priyaḥ—that half of the verse refers to those who are externally focused, and for them, Kṛṣṇa is dutifully sending the checks. He doesn't even put His name on it. It's like some payment, an alimony payment, or something, whatever it is, but the person doesn't want to disturb the other person's mind, so they don't even put the name on it. They just make a direct deposit so that, "Okay, you don't want to...you don't want to know me anymore, so I'll still pay, but I'll just keep it anonymous." You don't even know where the payments are coming from. People don't even realize God's paying them all the time. He's kindly providing, as Prabhupāda said, for every living being, He is giving all their necessities and more, but everyone just thinks Eh.. there is no God. It's like one fish said to the other, "Do you believe in water?" And he goes, "Nah! I've never seen any water. I don't know what they're talking about." But we're enveloped by God's love all the time. He's providing.

It is helpful to come down to what the basics are, and then, as Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura said, "Follow the simple path strictly." I just received a quote the other day from a friend, in which Prabhupāda said, "It's illegal to collect a lot of obscure quotes from a lot of different śāstras, just to show that you know more than other people about a topic." He said, "You only need a few books, but get to know them really well. Go deeply within several of these books—Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā, Nectar of Devotion—for the purpose of being very clear about what's important." And Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura said, "Follow the simple path, but do it very strictly." Just because it's simple doesn't mean that you don't have to put your attention to it. You should be very strict about it. And then we also find that it's a lot deeper than we thought. "Oh, just sixteen rounds—that's all you're going to do?" If you actually chant sixteen rounds attentively, you realize that, "Oh, I'm barely doing anything. There's an ocean here, and I haven't even investigated more than just below the surface. What else is there?"

And what to speak of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta! Prabhupāda said on a morning walk, when there was an argument about reading many different kinds of books available from different authors, Prabhupāda said, "Yeah, fine, but assimilate what you have." And if you try to assimilate Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, it may be a lot deeper than you thought. Who can actually assimilate Bhagavad-gītā fully before moving on to every book available at Ras Bihari Lal, "the biggest little bookstore in the world"? I hope there's never an earthquake, because that place will really collapse.

So, it's a very exciting life, depending on Kṛṣṇa. And Prabhupāda speaks in one lecture, saying that we have these four regulative principles. One of them is gambling, he said, but we have a replacement for gambling, and that is surrender to Kṛṣṇa. It seems like a gamble, but it's not, as one of Prabhupāda's Godbrothers once said, "Surrender to Kṛṣṇa—it's all gain and no risk." But the material world is all risk and no gain. So whatever you get, you're going to lose anyway. But there's this fear that "I won't survive unless I try to accumulate wealth, protect myself." I'm not saying you shouldn't accumulate some wealth, whatever you need, but there's always a fear. But ananyāś cintayanto māṁ, ye janāḥ paryupāsate...
