Who do not come God consciousness, they remain demons, and their business is just like Kamsa, Ravana - simply making plan how to kill God, or kill Krsna. That's all. "There is no God." That is their propaganda. "I am God." That's all

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Not today—every day. When Kṛṣṇa was born, there was a Kaṁsa, who was planning how to kill Kṛṣṇa. When Kṛṣṇa was born . . . you know that? So Kṛṣṇa . . . to kill Kṛṣṇa . . . there is a section of men who want to kill Kṛṣṇa always. They are called demons, or rākṣasas. So the rākṣasas . . . more or less, everyone in this material world are demons. But those who are intelligent, from this demonic life they come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Others who do not come God consciousness, they remain demons, and their business is just like Kaṁsa, Rāvaṇa—simply making plan how to kill God, or kill Kṛṣṇa. That's all. "There is no God." That is their propaganda. "I am God." That's all. So these demonic elements are always there. You have to do your own business.

Prabhupāda: You chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and eat nice kṛṣṇa-prasādam, you go back to home. Rest assured.

Devotees: Jaya, Prabhupāda!

Prabhupāda: That's all right. It is so nice. And don't you feel how you are becoming nicer and nicer? Practically. The news reporter . . . one lady in Philadelphia, she saw our students and she was surprised. She inquired, "Are you Americans?" So we are creating such devotees that people are becoming surprised how this is possible.

Yes, it is possible by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is simple method. Simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and take kṛṣṇa-prasāda. That's all. Don't require any education, philosophical theorizing. Simply do these two business: chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and take kṛṣṇa-prasāda. And our temple is open for everyone. No fee. No charge. So why do you lose this opportunity?

Yes?

Guest (4): Why do some people want to approach Kṛṣṇa in hatred?

Prabhupāda: What is that?

Śyāmasundara: Why is that some people want to approach Kṛṣṇa in hatred?

Prabhupāda: Because . . . hatred?

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: That is always. Not today—every day. When Kṛṣṇa was born, there was a Kaṁsa, who was planning how to kill Kṛṣṇa. When Kṛṣṇa was born . . . you know that? So Kṛṣṇa . . . to kill Kṛṣṇa . . . there is a section of men who want to kill Kṛṣṇa always. They are called demons, or rākṣasas. So the rākṣasas . . . more or less, everyone in this material world are demons. But those who are intelligent, from this demonic life they come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Others who do not come God consciousness, they remain demons, and their business is just like Kaṁsa, Rāvaṇa—simply making plan how to kill God, or kill Kṛṣṇa. That's all. "There is no God." That is their propaganda. "I am God." That's all. So these demonic elements are always there. You have to do your own business. That's all.

Guest (5): Why is there soul and Supersoul in the body when soul is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa?

Prabhupāda: Not "why." It is always there, soul and Supersoul. There is no question of why. But soul and Supersoul, they are qualitatively one. Just like you have got your body. If you say: "Why there is hand?" so how can I answer? As soon as there is body, there is hand, there is a leg, there is a mouth. That is the creation.

The creation is like that. There is soul and Supersoul. Just like you have got the whole body, and there are parts and parcels of the body, the limbs of the body. That is the beauty of the body. If you simply keep a lump of body, it is not beautiful. Therefore the body should be nicely constructed, and there must be different parts and parcels of body. There is a design.

But if simply there is soul, Super, and there is no undersoul, then how Kṛṣṇa becomes ānandamaya? About the Absolute Truth in the Vedānta-sūtra it is said, ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt: "The Absolute Truth is full of bliss." So in order to enjoy bliss there must be Supersoul and undersoul. Otherwise it is not blissful. Is it clear? Yes. There must be. Yes.
