Vaniquotes - the complete essence of Vedic knowledge

We understand past, future, everything, present. That is spiritual consciousness. Just like Krsna says: "I know past, present and future," similarly, when you also become purified in Krsna consciousness, you'll also know past, present and future

Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Madhudviṣa: The question is, Śrīla Prabhupāda, when you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, can you remember your past or see into the future?

Prabhupāda: No, we understand past, future, everything, present. That is spiritual consciousness. Yes. Just like Kṛṣṇa says: "I know past, present and future," similarly, when you also become pure, purified in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you'll also know past, present and future.

Guest (1): In Kṛṣṇa consciousness, what are your thoughts of the past or the future?

Devotee: (explaining) In Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is there any thought of the past or the future?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Devotee: (to guest) Would you like to be more specific about that question?

Guest (1): Is there any thought about the past or the future?

Madhudviṣa: The question is, Śrīla Prabhupāda, when you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, can you remember your past or see into the future?

Prabhupāda: No, we understand past, future, everything, present. That is spiritual consciousness. Yes. Just like Kṛṣṇa says: "I know past, present and future," similarly, when you also become pure, purified in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you'll also know past, present and future.

Guest (2): . . . (indistinct)

Madhudviṣa: The gentleman is asking about the authenticity of Moses.

Prabhupāda: Moses.

Madhudviṣa: Yes.

Prabhupāda: They are representative of God. That's nice.

Madhudviṣa: Any other question?

Guest (3): How strong is the power of Kṛṣṇa?

Madhudviṣa: How strong is the power of Kṛṣṇa?

Prabhupāda: (laughter) No, that can be explained. Just like there is Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, and you are a drop of it, that's all. The quality is the same, a drop of Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and the ocean. If you taste the drop, a small drop, it is salty, you can understand that the ocean is also salty. But the containing . . . the contents of salt, that is very small, and the contents of salt in the ocean, that is very big. That you cannot imagine. It is like that. God is like you and me, a person. But He is Pacific Ocean; we are drop. That's all.
