Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement means to train people to come to his original constitutional position. What is that? Every living entity is part and parcel of God. Therefore the duty of the part and parcel is to serve the whole. The part and parcel cannot enjoy individually or independently. That is not possible.

Prahlāda Mahārāja says that here in this material world, we are after sense pleasure, everyone: birds, beasts, animals, aquatics, human beings—even the demigods. Anyone who is within this material world, he is concerned with the gratification of the senses in different degree; but, in any means, sense gratification. Therefore, we are given, by the laws of nature… Not…, nature is not independent, but is superior order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead as Paramātmā is sitting in everyone's heart. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe ([[Vanisource:BG 18.61|BG 18.61]]). Specifically mentioned, it is within the heart, hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati. So "I am also there, and the Supersoul is also there." So the Supersoul's business is to witness, anumantā upadraṣṭā ([[Vanisource:BG 13.23|BG 13.23]]). That is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gītā. The Supersoul is simply observing what I am doing. And He is the supreme witness, upadraṣṭā. And anumantā. As I desire—not according to my desire, but because I desire—I have been given the freedom to desire. But without the sanction of the Supersoul, I cannot do anything. Just like a child. A child is persistent, crying, "Father I must have it. Give me." Father does not like to give him that undesirable thing, but because the child persists in crying, making disturbance, sometimes father says, "All right. You take." That is father's mercy: “Oh, why this child is crying? Let him have it, that's all.” We have got practical experience, so I may recite that, in my younger days, when my eldest son was only two years and half, so he was trying to catch the table fan. The table fan was moving. So I was requesting, “No, don’t touch.” But he insisted, as child. So one of my friends was sitting; he said that "Make it slow and allow him to touch it." So I did it, and the child touched it, and there was in the finger tang! Then I asked him to again touch: "No, no!"

This is the process. Kṛṣṇa bhuliyā jīva bhoga vāñchā kare (Prema-vivarta). We, all living entities, we have come here within this material world to enjoy, to lord it over the material nature. It is going on. Everyone can understand, that what is this markets? If you go to (indistinct), very busy quarter, though what is the business there? The business is that everyone wants to enjoy this world to the full satisfaction. Either you call it industry or trade or business or high court, what is the aim? The aim is that "I want to enjoy." This is individually. To take it nationally, statewide, one state wants that "My men, let me extend that sense gratification." First of all individual sense gratification, then extended: "My family, my son, my grandson, they will enjoy, make such arrangement." This is nature. And then you extend it, from family-wide to community-wide, from community, national-wide. Then international also, that we human beings, we should combine together and send all the animals to the slaughterhouse and eat them—the combined effort. What is that? "We shall enjoy." This is going on. Kṛṣṇa bhuliyā jīva bhoga vāñchā kare, pāsate māyā (Prema-vivarta). This is māyā. This disease has to be cured. That requires knowledge, and religiousness. That required.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement means to train people to come to his original constitutional position. What is that? Every living entity is part and parcel of God. Therefore the duty of the part and parcel is to serve the whole. The part and parcel cannot enjoy individually or independently. That is not possible. Just like this finger is part and parcel of my body. It has to enjoy at a certain post. Not that a finger will catch up some rasgullā and enjoy it. That is not possible. It must go through the stomach. The rasagullas will be caught and put into the mouth. It must go to the stomach, and the stomach will digest it, and the energy will be distributed—not only to this finger, but other fingers, other parts of parts of the body. This has to be learned. That is called yato bhaktir adhokṣaje ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]]). We are discussing that point. And this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so nice that immediately everyone comes into ecstasy, and he wants to serve Kṛṣṇa.
