Becoming A Real Friend Of Others - Prabhupada 0389

740816 - Lecture BG 07.10 - Vrndavana

We are falsely trying to become friends of others—leaders. But we do not know how to become friend. Actually nobody is going to be my friend. Everyone wants to exploit me, but in the shape of friend he comes to exploit. This is the world. Why you should claim "friend"? "My sir, I am your friend. What can I do for you?" If I am real friend, then I should inform everybody that Kṛṣṇa is your original, only friend. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We don’t claim . . . we are friend in this way that, "I have brought a good news for you." I am friend in that way. "What is that good news?" "That you have got a very nice friend, Kṛṣṇa. Very powerful. Very powerful friend." "Oh, what I am? I'm nothing."

This is actually Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
