God Is Realized Only By Loving Service - Prabhupada 0149

690215 - Lecture BG 06.06-12 - Los Angeles

Even one is illiterate, even he does not know what is A-B-C-D, he can realize God, provided he engages himself in this submissive transcendental loving service. And one may be very learned, high scholar, but he cannot realize God. God is not subjected to any material condition. He is supreme spirit.

Similarly, the process of realizing God is also not subjected to any material condition. It is not that because you are poor man, oh, you cannot realize God. Or because you are very rich man, therefore you shall realize God. No. Because you are uneducated, therefore you cannot realize God—no, that is not. Because you are highly educated, therefore you can realize God—no, that is not. He's unconditional, apratihatā.
