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. Yes? What is your question? This gentleman, here.
Guest (4): What's your doctrine? What's your doctrine of this . . .
Prabhupāda: Doctrine?
Madhudviṣa: He wants to know what the doctrine of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is.
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa consciousness means that you are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, or God. You being separated, I have already explained, you are suffering in this material world. So you back to your father, go back to your father and be happy. That's all.
Guest (4): . . . (indistinct)
Devotee: (to guest) You're saying that God is spirit, we are spirit, and . . . what follows from that?
Guest (4): (indistinct) . . . (break)
Prabhupāda: . . . if you love God. And because we are missing God, we are loving this thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, and frustration. That very love which is reserved for God, we are applying it in this material world, "I love my country. I love my society. I love my family. I love my dog. I love my . . . I love." But I am missing whom to love. That is the point. I am placing my love in so many things, and I am becoming frustrated. So when we understand the love is meant for God, that is our perfection of life. And if you love God, then you love everything. That is perfect love.
