Lady guest (2): But where do we get all our passions from, anyway? They have to be born, don't they?

Prabhupāda: No, you have got the . . . because you are part and parcel of God, so God is the complete enjoyer. So you have also that spirit to enjoy. But when you forget this principle that you cannot enjoy independently, you can enjoy along with Kṛṣṇa—then you are perfect. But as soon as you want to enjoy independently, then you come to the material world. Here in this material world, everyone is trying to enjoy life independently. Now we are simply teaching, "No, that is not possible." If you want to enjoy independently, then you become subjected to the laws of material nature.

But if you want to enjoy along with Kṛṣṇa, then you are free. Just like in this temple, what is this difference between these temple activities and other activities? Here the center is Kṛṣṇa. We are working for Kṛṣṇa, we are eating for Kṛṣṇa, we are walking for Kṛṣṇa, we are talking for Kṛṣṇa. You are also talking, you are also walking, you are also working. The same thing going on. But the difference is, here everyone is working for Kṛṣṇa. That is the difference. Therefore it is not in the material world
