Bob: When I pray faithfully and reverently, does Kṛṣṇa hear me?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bob: Directly?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bob: From me to Him?
Prabhupāda: Because He's within your heart, He's always hearing you. When you are praying or not praying, you are doing some nonsense, He also hearing. And when you pray, that is very good, welcome. But even if you are doing some nonsense, He's hearing.
