We are making this preaching work of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If somebody comes, he's Kṛṣṇa's, he's not mine. These boys serving me, not for my sense gratification; for developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Similarly, if he goes to serve a master, he serves the master for the sense gratification of the particular person. Therefore he pays him. So he does not serve that master; he serves that payment. And what is that payment? For his sense gratification. Therefore he serves his sense gratification. The karma is serving one's sense gratification. And bhakti is serving Kṛṣṇa's sense gratification, "Kṛṣṇa will be satisfied in this way." We work in that way. So it is not karma.
And as soon as I'll work, "Oh, I'll get this money and satisfy my senses," that is karma. So I become subject to the result. It may be good or bad. But when you work for Kṛṣṇa, He is all good. There is no question of bad. And all good goes to the all-good. I'm simply His eternal servant. That's all. Another example: this finger takes some foodstuff and gives to the stomach. So when the stomach is satisfied, the finger is satisfied automatically. It does not require to take separately any food. But the karmīs are trying to enjoy themselves. Just like the finger—if it takes a nice cake and if he thinks that, "Why shall I give it to the stomach?" so it cannot eat, it simply spoils. That's all.
So you are spoiling our energy without Kṛṣṇa consciousness. And therefore you are being subjected to the laws of transmigrating from one species of life. We are simply spoiling our time and energy. So if we take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that is the proper utilization of our energy given by God. Just like if I'm healthy, the finger is also healthy. Then what is the duty of the healthy finger? To serve this body.
Similarly, we have got this energy from Kṛṣṇa, from God. So if you utilize this energy from Kṛṣṇa then it is proper utilization. If you utilize the energy for our sense gratification, then you are misusing. So anyone who is not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he's spoiling his time, wasting his life and subjecting himself in so many laws of nature.
So these things are very nicely explained in this Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. This is the preliminary study of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and if one studies this book nicely, then he goes to other books. I've got this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. This is also Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But the project is very great. It will have to be finished in sixty volumes like this. So about ten, twelve volumes are already finished. So I'm going on working on this.
So it is a great subject matter for study. So people should take interest in it. It is not anything trifle thing. People should come to us to understand. We have got literature. We have got philosophy. Everything we have got. It is not a blind, imposing thing, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. So everyone who actually wants to give some service to the society, to the humanity, they must study this philosophy and get prepared to meet anyone—scientists, philosopher, poet, thoughtful men—and we can give answer to all their questions.
But our method is very simple. We call everyone, even to the child, "Sit down, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa," and he gradually realizes. But if anyone wants to understand this philosophy through knowledge, through books, through philosophy, logic, we are prepared. But for the mass of people we give the simple method: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare, and he realizes. All these boys, they're not philosophers, they're not very highly learned, but they're developing simply by chanting. This is so nice. It is for the greatest scholar and it is for the innocent boy. Therefore it is universal. Even for the animals. Yes. We have seen. Sometimes dogs, they also dance to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness chanting. Yes.
