Interviewer: Is Kṛṣṇa consciousness sort of achieved after a period through application and study?

Prabhupāda: No. It is simply agreement. The process begins—to accept God first of all and to surrender to God. But nobody is prepared to surrender to God, neither they are prepared to accept God. That is the difficulty. But as soon as one accepts that there is God, God is there and I am subordinate, and my business is to surrender unto Him, then immediately he becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious. But that is not very easy thing; people will not agree to this. Therefore training required, association required. But the method is so simple it can be achieved in one second.

But that nobody is accepting that method. But if one accepts, that method will be a business of one minute. It is not difficult. God is there, that's a fact—you are here, that's a fact. But the surrender is not there. And to come to the surrendering point requires training, agreement.

Interviewer: Are you happy with the way the mission's going in Australia, the center?

Devotee: (explaining question) "Are you happy with the way the mission is going in Australia, our activities?"

Prabhupāda: Well, after all, this is a difficult job, because to accept God or to know God, that is very difficult job. Out of many thousands of people are anxious, one may be very much anxious to know what is the highest perfection of life. And those who have attained the perfection of life, out of many thousands of them, one may know what is God actually. So to know God actually is not a very easy job.
