Prabhupāda: You say: "Unconscious mind." You just now told me "Unconscious mind." Is mind unconscious?

Boy: Most of it is.

Prabhupāda: (aside) What did he say?

Bali-mardana: "Most of it."

Prabhupāda: No. Mind is never unconscious. Mind is not for a single moment unconscious. When you sleep, when your bodily limbs are silent, mind works. Therefore you sleep . . . you dream. Mind always acts.

Prabhupāda: Three words you cannot chant? Oh, that is very astonishing. Hare, Kṛṣṇa and Rāma. Do you know what is God? Can any one of you stand up and tell me what is God? Thank you. Come here. (applause and laughter) Yes. Do you know what is God?

Boy: Yes. God is self-realization, and God is found in the unconscious mind.

Prabhupāda: Thank you. (applause) No, no. Don't go away. Don't go away. God is . . . what is that? What did you say, God, God is . . .?

Boy: Self-realization.

Prabhupāda: Self-realization. Explain it, what is self-realization.

Boy: Tapping the powers of the unconscious mind and seeing yourself . . .

Prabhupāda: Do you think mind is unconscious?

Boy: The mind is unconscious.

Prabhupāda: You say: "Unconscious mind." You just now told me "Unconscious mind." Is mind unconscious?

Boy: Most of it is.

Prabhupāda: (aside) What did he say?

Bali-mardana: "Most of it."

Prabhupāda: No. Mind is never unconscious. Mind is not for a single moment unconscious. When you sleep, when your bodily limbs are silent, mind works. Therefore you sleep . . . you dream. Mind always acts. Mind is never unconscious, even not for a second. Now you have to find out what is consciousness.

Boy: I'm not talking about consciousness. The unconsciousness.

Prabhupāda: So unless you know consciousness, how do you describe unconsciousness?

Boy: The unconscious is the id.

Prabhupāda: Unconsciousness is the negative side of consciousness. So you should explain what is consciousness. Then we can understand unconsciousness.

Boy: I didn't say "unconsciousness." I said "unconscious."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Unconscious means the negative of consciousness. So you have to explain what is consciousness. Then we can understand what is unconsciousness.
