	'''Prabhupāda:''' In the spiritual platform you don't forget Kṛṣṇa. In the material platform you forget so many things, but in the spiritual platform you don't forget Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's duties. So if you can continue in that way, then you continue in spiritual platform, and the result will be that after getting out of this body, you are spiritually situated.		'''Prabhupāda:''' In the spiritual platform you don't forget Kṛṣṇa. In the material platform you forget so many things, but in the spiritual platform you don't forget Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's duties. So if you can continue in that way, then you continue in spiritual platform, and the result will be that after getting out of this body, you are spiritually situated.

	So we have to continue the spiritual stand on spiritual platform by Kṛṣṇa consciousness, always remembering Kṛṣṇa. ''Smartavyaḥ satataṁ viṣṇuḥ vismartavyo na jātucit'' (''Padma Purāṇa''). This is the process. You have to remember always Kṛṣṇa, Viṣṇu. That is called meditation. That is called ''samādhi''. The ''samādhi'', the meditation which is going on, some rascaldom, that is not meditation. Meditation means always thinking of Viṣṇu. That is meditation.

	I am Kṛṣṇa's, or God's. That is ''sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam''. And as you are convinced that you are God's, or Kṛṣṇa's, then engage yourself not in the designated service, but Kṛṣṇa's service. ''Tat-paratvena nirmalam''. Then everything will be purified. Your eyes will be purified, your ears will be purified, your legs, everything, all senses will be purified.		I am Kṛṣṇa's, or God's.

Then everything will be purified. Your eyes will be purified, your ears will be purified, your legs, everything, all senses will be purified.

	When your senses are purified, ''hṛṣīkena hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate''. When with that purified senses . . . ''~~Hṛṣīkena~~'' means senses. Kṛṣṇa's name is ''Hṛṣīkeśa''. ''Hṛṣīkeśa'' means the master of the senses, Govinda. ''Govinda'' also means the master of the senses. So the senses which you have got—this hand, leg, eyes, everything—I am not the proprietor.

	Practically the proprietor is Kṛṣṇa. So when you engage your all the senses in the service of the master of the senses, that is called ''bhakti''. ''Hṛṣīkena hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate'' ([[CC Madhya 19.170]]). That ''hṛṣīkena'', that senses, must be purified. How? ''Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam'': being relieved, freed, from all designation.
