Who Is First-class Yogi - Prabhupada 1081
770513 - Conversation - Hrishikesh
Prabhupāda: There are many varieties of yogīs. Kṛṣṇa concludes, "Of all the yogīs, big, big yogīs, the person who is always remembering Kṛṣṇa and chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra is first class." This is said by Kṛṣṇa, not by me. Therefore it is authorized statement. Without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, all these mystic powers, they may be temporarily some magic, but Kṛṣṇa says that "One who is always remembering Me," satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ (BG 9.14), "he is first-class yogī."
