Prabhupāda: When everything we see in connection—nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe—in connection with Kṛṣṇa, when everything we see that, "This can be utilized very nicely for Kṛṣṇa's service," that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that is God consciousness: everything to see in connection with Kṛṣṇa. The Gosvāmīs, they give us this formula. Prāpañcikatayā buddhyā hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.258).
The Māyāvādī philosopher, they say that, "This world is false. This world is false." Some philosophers, they are meditating to the voidness that, "These things are all nonsense. Voidness is best." This is frustration. But we know that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa and it can be used for Kṛṣṇa. Why void? Why false? Reality.

That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness: to accept everything in reality, not false. This tape recorder machine, it is material. The Māyāvāda philosophers, they will say it is false. We say: "It is not false; it is temporary. But it can be used for Kṛṣṇa." That is the best use of a bad bargain. Similarly, this body is not false, but it is temporary. How can I say false? If I give you a nice, I mean to say . . . what is called?

Viṣṇujana: Shock.

Prabhupāda: Shock, you will feel. So it is not false, but that feeling is temporary, that's all. So this body . . . the Bhāgavata says, asann api kleśada āsa dehaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.4|SB 5.5.4]]).

This body, although false or temporary, but when it is painful, I feel it. So how can I say it is false?

So everything created or given by God, we should not say it is false, but we should know that "This is God gifted, it is God's possession, so I must utilize it for God's purpose." That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the knowledge of science of Kṛṣṇa. Everything . . . nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate. And:

<div class="quote_verse">
:prāpañcikatayā buddhyā
:hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ
:mumukṣubhiḥ parityāgo
:phalgu vairāgya kathyate 
:(Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.258)
</div>

Vairāgya means renunciation, and phalgu means without any value, or little, very little. Why should we give up this world? But the process is that give up the idea of sense enjoyment. That is required. That is real renunciation. "I shall not use it for my sense gratification. I shall utilize it for Kṛṣṇa's service." That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
