<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- June 14, 1976, Detroit|Morning Walk -- June 14, 1976, Detroit]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Makhanlāl: Identity? (break) Brahman realization for the devotee in the beginning is just that he realizes his constitutional position as servant of Kṛṣṇa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is next. First of all, that "I am not this body." That is Brahman realization.</p>
<p>Makhanlāl: So we may only be partially situated in that realization in our present level of devotional service.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You realize or not realize, if you remain on the platform, that is same. (break) ...in Kṛṣṇa's service, that is brahma-bhūtaḥ stage. (break)</p>
<p>Makhanlāl: ...says that such a person never laments nor desires anything. So...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. If you realize that you are servant of Kṛṣṇa, where is lamentation?</p>
<p>Makhanlāl: Due to māyā's influence, a devotee may sometimes materially lament.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That you have to struggle. Tapasā brahmacāryeṇa ([[Vanisource:SB 6.1.13|SB 6.1.13]]). That is called tapasya. But if you stick to devotional service, māyā will not be able to touch you.</p>
<p>Makhanlāl: The māyā that harasses the devotee is just mental concoction, then? He should concentrate on just serving?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Māyā's harassing, that means you are not in devotional service. It is not concoction; it is fact.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): (indistinct) We're having a lot of trouble distributing books in the airports now.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: What is the difficulty?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): It just seems legal problems. People don't like us there.</p>
<p>Mādhavānanda: People are opposing more. As our movement grows more and more, people want to check.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): ...trying to get it open in the terminals, and there's a possibility of maybe getting forty devotees inside the airport to distribute your books.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So, that is favorable. (break)</p>
<p>Dhṛṣṭadyumna: ...so powerful, Śrīla Prabhupāda, that all over the country young men are running away from home. We have one fifteen-year-old boy, he left everything after getting a book in a parking lot. Another boy is a sculptor, an artist. He's also runaway, seventeen years old. Just like Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, once he was attracted by Lord Caitanya's movement, nothing could keep him at home. So all the young men of America, as they read your books, will come and join us.</p>
