Prabhupāda: There is no restriction that such and such men can come and offer obeisances. No. Anyone. Māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ (BG 9.32). Even born in low-grade family, it doesn't matter. So where is the difficulty? That we want to discuss. To become Kṛṣṇa conscious, is there any difficulty for any person, anywhere, any part of the world? Let us discuss this point. Huh? (aside:) You sit down properly. I say you, yes. So, discuss this point. What is the difficulty? Why people are not Kṛṣṇa conscious? But the process is very simple. Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī (BG 18.65). The result? (aside:) Don't divert your attention. Mām evaiṣyasi, what is the next line? Bhagavān: Mām evaiṣyasi yuktvaivam. Prabhupāda: Yuktvaiva. Yuktvā means connected. If you think of Kṛṣṇa, if you worship Him, offer obeisances, that means you are already connected. Yuktvaiva. What is the yuktvaiva meaning? Bhagavān: Absorbed, "being absorbed.".

Prabhupāda: So if you simply think of Kṛṣṇa, then your life becomes successful. Where is the difficulty? Hmm? And the result is mām evaiṣyasi: by following these principles or thinking of Kṛṣṇa, which means to become a devotee . . . Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). Anyone who is devotee, naturally he'll worship Kṛṣṇa. The temple is there. We worship. Then? Man-manā bhava, mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru. And worshiping Kṛṣṇa means, if you cannot do anything, you simply go and offer your obeisances, that's all. It is open to everyone. There is no restriction that such and such men can come and offer obeisances. No. Anyone. Māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.32 (1972)|BG 9.32]]). Even born in low-grade family, it doesn't matter. So where is the difficulty? That we want to discuss. To become Kṛṣṇa conscious, is there any difficulty for any person, anywhere, any part of the world? Let us discuss this point. Huh? (aside:) You sit down properly. I say you, yes.

So, discuss this point. What is the difficulty? Why people are not Kṛṣṇa conscious? But the process is very simple. Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). The result? (aside:) Don't divert your attention. Mām evaiṣyasi, what is the next line?

Bhagavān: Mām evaiṣyasi yuktvaivam.

Prabhupāda: Yuktvaiva. Yuktvā means connected. If you think of Kṛṣṇa, if you worship Him, offer obeisances, that means you are already connected. Yuktvaiva. What is the yuktvaiva meaning?

Bhagavān: Absorbed, "being absorbed."

Prabhupāda: Then? Read the whole line.

Bhagavān: Mām evaiṣyasi yuktvaivam ātmānaṁ mat-parāyaṇaḥ.

Prabhupāda: Ātmānam. Mānam means Kṛṣṇa. He's the supreme ātmā. Just like we love ātmā, every one of us. We, if there is some danger, then immediately we try to protect ourselves, protect this body from danger. Why? Why do you want to protect this body from danger? What is the reason?

Bhagavān: They identify the body as the self, and the self is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa.
