Prabhupāda: Nobody can check the progress of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Simply we have to remain very serious and sincere. There is no . . . ahaituky apratihatā (SB 1.2.6). It is apratihatā. Pratihatā means being checked. So this bhakti-mārga cannot be checked by any material impediments. It cannot be checked. Simply we have to become very serious and sincere.
So I am very glad to see that you are doing nice. The temple room is also improved in the last year. And go on, improve it. The more you improve the temple worship, the more you become improved in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The more you keep the temple cleansed, the more your heart becomes clean. The more you feed the Deity sumptuously, you also feel very satisfaction. This is the way. Kṛṣṇa, the more you serve Kṛṣṇa . . . the example is given that just like if on the real person is decorated, the reflection is also decorated. If a person is decorated nicely, and he is . . . what is called? Impression, in the mirror?
Devotee: Reflected.
Prabhupāda: Reflection. Where his reflection is also immediately decorated. Similarly, reality is Kṛṣṇa. If you serve Kṛṣṇa, then we are reflection. We are reflection. Kṛṣṇa being satisfied, immediately we become satisfied. So if you want peace, satisfaction, then you make Kṛṣṇa satisfied. That is the way. You cannot . . . just like decorate the reflection in the mirror—that is not possible. You decorate the reality, person, and the reflection in the mirror will be decorated. This is the process.
