Prabhupāda:  It is not very astonishing if by 1980 there are majority population, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and dance. There is no . . . because it is growing. Now here is a girl, my disciple. His (her) original name was Janne. Now he (she) is devotee. And she was dancing in a different way. Now she is dancing Kṛṣṇa conscious.

She was a very reputed artist, you know, in Australia. Now she has given that. She was earning hundreds and thousands of dollars, but she has given up everything. Now she is Jagat-tāraṇī: she is delivering the world by dancing with Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So that is quite possible. It is very simple. Therefore there is every possibility. Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate ([[Vanisource:BG 2.59 (1972)|BG 2.59]]). Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā, when one sees better thing, he gives up the inferior thing. That is nature. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is better engagement of life. So as soon as one understands this philosophy, he gives up the lower engagement and comes to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Guest (1): Is it possible for us to know the source of Kṛṣṇa?

Devotee: "Is it possible to know the source of Kṛṣṇa?"

Prabhupāda: Source of Kṛṣṇa? Well, Kṛṣṇa is the origin. Sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam (Bs. 5.1). We are trying to understand the source of Kṛṣṇa because we have no other experience. We have got only experience that everything has got a cause, source. You go on searching out. Just like you are caused by your father. Your father is caused by his father. His father is cause of . . . in this way go on researching, researching, then you come to Brahmā, the original person in this universe.

Then Brahmā is also caused by Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. The Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is caused by Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. The Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is caused by Saṅkarṣaṇa. Saṅkarṣaṇa is caused by Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa caused by Baladeva. Baladeva is caused by Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is the origin, cause, of everyone. He has no cause. He has no source. He is the original source of everything. Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]): "I am the source of everything." And Brahmā-saṁhitā, sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam (Bs. 5.1): "The cause of all causes."
