So here it is suggested that if you are actually serious about tattva-jijñāsā, to understand the Absolute Truth, this is the process. What is that? Tat śraddadhānāḥ. Śraddhā.

There is inclination in everyone, but by artificial means they have been checked. Otherwise, normally, this inclination is there in everyone's heart. Nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-bhakti sādhya kabhu naya (CC Madhya 22.107). It is not an artificial imposition. Naturally there is tendency to know, if he's a sane man, "What I am? What is God? What is my relationship with Him? Why I am suffering?" There are so many questions.

So here it is suggested that if you are actually serious about tattva-jijñāsā, to understand the Absolute Truth, this is the process. What is that? Tat śraddadhānāḥ. Śraddhā. Śraddhā means that at least to understand that, "These people are doing some nice things." Just like in Europe and America, the papers are now discussing about our Movement. They say: "They are nice people, and we want more of them." At least, they are saying like that. (laughter) Yes. "These Hare Krishna people, they are very nice, and we want more of them."

And in Berkeley, when our procession was taken, the neighboring shopkeepers, they remarked that, "These people are not window-breaking crowd." Because as soon as there is some crowd or procession, immediately they begin to break the windows and throw stones. That is . . . that has become a custom. So when they see that "These people are very peaceful . . ." Even the police, they also give certificate that, "We don't have to take much worries to control this crowd," when our Ratha-yātrā festival go.

So actually, this is the fact. Yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ (SB 5.18.12). If one develops Kṛṣṇa consciousness, devotion to Kṛṣṇa, then naturally, without any separate endeavor, all the good qualities will develop. This is the symptom how one is advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That means all the good qualities will be visible in his character. That is practical. Anyone can test.
