Kṛṣṇa is best. That's all. And whatever is done for Kṛṣṇa, that is best. That's all. We have got a standard; therefore we are satisfied: "Even in distressed condition, because Kṛṣṇa has given me distress, so-called distress, it is not distress. So this is all right." Because here, distress or happiness, they are simply mental concoction. Dvaite bhadra . . . I am in the material existence—that is my distress. That distress has to be removed, not this temporary distress or happiness.

Prabhupāda: So what is the standard of best and lowest? There is no standard. This is called māyā.

Bali-mardana: Many philosophers have tried to define what is the best.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Bali-mardana: Many philosophers have tried to define what is the best.

Prabhupāda: They cannot.

Bali-mardana: It's not possible.

Prabhupāda: They cannot. It is not possible.

Bali-mardana: They have no Absolute.

Prabhupāda: No. They have no idea. Mental speculators, they are no good. Mental speculator means . . . (indistinct) . . . harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā manorathena ([[Vanisource:SB 5.18.12|SB 5.18.12]]). Manorathena, by the mental plane, airship, he's simply hovering. They have no standard.

Bali-mardana: So a devotee does not have to cogitate too much. Whatever satisfies Kṛṣṇa, that is best.

Prabhupāda: That's all. Kṛṣṇa is best. That's all. And whatever is done for Kṛṣṇa, that is best. That's all. We have got a standard; therefore we are satisfied: "Even in distressed condition, because Kṛṣṇa has given me distress, so-called distress, it is not distress. So this is all right." Because here, distress or happiness, they are simply mental concoction. Dvaite bhadra . . . I am in the material existence—that is my distress. That distress has to be removed, not this temporary distress or happiness. (japa)
