I am not American, I am not Indian, I&#039;m not brāhmaṇa, I am not this, this, this, so many things... No, I am spirit soul. I am part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa.&quot; This is called brahma-bhūtaḥ. Evaṁ prasanna-manaso. When one becomes brahma-bhūtaḥ, self-realized, at that time, he becomes prasanna-manaso, joyful. Na śocati na kāṅkṣati: he has no more lamentation or hankering. Evaṁ prasanna.

At that time, one can understand what is the science of God, bhagavat-tattva. It is not a sentiment; it is a vijñāna, science. Bhagavad-tattva-vijñāna. So who can understand this bhagavad-tattva-vijñāna, science? Mukta-saṅga.

My position, my wealth, my family, my this or that—everything will be finished, because I&amp;#039;ll have to accept another body. Karmaṇā daiva netreṇa jantor deha upapattaye ([[Vanisource:SB 3.31.1|SB 3.31.1]]). This gross body will be finished. I&amp;#039;ll have to accept another gross body. But if you begin Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it will not be finished, because it is the business of the soul. Kṛṣṇa consciousness means the original consciousness, &amp;quot;I am Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s. I am God&amp;#039;s, part and parcel of God,&amp;quot; this consciousness. At the present moment, being illusioned by different material designations, we are thinking in different way: &amp;quot;I am American,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am Indian,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am brāhmaṇa,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am śūdra,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am this,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am that.&amp;quot; These are all designations. And Kṛṣṇa consciousness means &amp;quot;I am Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s.&amp;quot; Ahaṁ brahmāsmi. So &amp;#039;ham. &amp;quot;I am as good as Kṛṣṇa,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;I am Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s. I am eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa.&amp;quot; This consciousness is required to invoke. That is the prime objective of human life. Now we are in different consciousness. So bhakti means sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). One has to become freed from all these designations: &amp;quot;I am this,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I am that,&amp;quot; this bodily concept of life. Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke ([[Vanisource:SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). I am identifying myself with this body. This is condemned in the śāstra. Sa eva go-kharaḥ. One who identifies himself with this body, he&amp;#039;s no better than the cows and the asses. Sa eva go-kharaḥ.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;So Kṛṣṇa consciousness means one is not identifying himself with this material body. He is identifying himself in his original constitutional position, ahaṁ brahmāsmi.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā &lt;br /&gt;
:na śocati na kāṅkṣati &lt;br /&gt;
:samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu &lt;br /&gt;
:mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām &lt;br /&gt;
:([[Vanisource:BG 18.54|BG 18.54]]) &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām. After being liberated from all these designations, one begins his devotional service, devotional life. And Kṛṣṇa says, &amp;quot;If one wants to know Me, then he must accept.&amp;quot; Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 18.55|BG 18.55]]). Tattvataḥ. If one wants to know Kṛṣṇa, God, as He is, then he has to accept the process of devotional service. Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti. Evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhakti-yogena ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.20|SB 1.2.20]]). There is another verse in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ. By practicing the bhagavad-bhakti-yoga, bhagavad-bhakti-yoga prasanna manaso, one has to become first of all joyful by identifying himself with the spirit. Brahmā bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati ([[Vanisource:BG 18.54|BG 18.54]]). Then when he becomes joyful, he understands that &amp;quot;I am not this material body, I am spirit soul. I am not American, I am not Indian, I&amp;#039;m not brāhmaṇa, I am not this, this, this, so many things... No, I am spirit soul. I am part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa.&amp;quot; This is called brahma-bhūtaḥ. Evaṁ prasanna-manaso. When one becomes brahma-bhūtaḥ, self-realized, at that time, he becomes prasanna-manaso, joyful. Na śocati na kāṅkṣati: he has no more lamentation or hankering. Evaṁ prasanna. In this state of life, prasanna-manaso, evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.20|SB 1.2.20]]), by practicing bhagavad-bhakti yoga, bhagavat-tattva-vijñānaṁ mukta-saṅgasya jāyate. At that time, one can understand what is the science of God, bhagavat-tattva. It is not a sentiment; it is a vijñāna, science. Bhagavad-tattva-vijñāna. So who can understand this bhagavad-tattva-vijñāna, science? Mukta-saṅga. One who is liberated from this material contamination, he can understand.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Therefore devotees who are constantly engaged in the loving service of the Lord, they are liberated.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
