Try to understand Kṛṣṇa from the beginning of drinking water. Therefore Kṛṣṇa said that, "The taste of the water, I am." So water, or any liquid thing you are drinking, if you are feeling some pleasure, ānanda . . . ānandamaya. That God is ānanda. So there is the sample of ānanda.

What is given by God, that is also God. This is God consciousness. You are asking God's mercy, so God's mercy is also God, the Absolute. So how can you disrespect a thing which is given by God? You cannot produce rice. You cannot produce bread. It is given by God. Everything . . . therefore Kṛṣṇa said, raso 'ham apsu kaunteya ([[Vanisource:BG 7.8 (1972)|BG 7.8]]). Just try to understand Kṛṣṇa from the beginning of drinking water. Therefore Kṛṣṇa said that, "The taste of the water, I am." So water, or any liquid thing you are drinking, if you are feeling some pleasure, ānanda . . . ānandamaya. That God is ānanda. So there is the sample of ānanda.

So if we simply practice this, that wherever I derive some pleasure, that is God, then you become God conscious. To become God conscious is not difficult. Simply one has to learn how to practice it. That's all. Everything stated. Find out that verse, raso 'ham apsu kaunteya prabhāsmi śaśi-sūryayoḥ. (pause) Who will not respect Jesus Christ? He sacrificed everything for God, even his life. So who is that rascal that he'll not respect to Jesus Christ? What did he do wrong to the human society? He did everything for the good of the human society. Oh, I have got very, very great respect for Lord Jesus Christ. Not only . . . every, I mean to say, God conscious man, he must have respect for Jesus Christ. There is no doubt about it. My Guru Mahārāja had very great respect for Muhammad, Jesus Christ . . . we pray Lord Buddha. Although he preached atheistic philosophy, but we know that he's incarnation of God. Keśava dhṛta-buddha-śarīra jaya jagadīśa hare.
