There is no interpretation. The direct meaning is that we are praying Kṛṣṇa and His energy to accept me in the society of His service. This is the simple . . . there is no other interpretation. Or artha-vādaḥ.

Guest: Easy Journey to Other Planets. Shall I get that?

Devotee: Confession.

Prabhupāda: Ah. Confession. So we should not like that. It is not confession. Confession means I confess that I have done this sinful act, and as soon as I come out from the church I do it again.
