General Lectures

Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the supreme consciousness and other consciousness is limited. Just like you are consciousness, conscious of your particular body. If there is some pain in your body you are conscious. I am not conscious. So you are conscious of your bodily activities, I am conscious of my bodily activities but Kṛṣṇa consciousness is conscious of all the bodies, that is the universal consciousness. So if you profit your consciousness with Kṛṣṇa consciousness then you can feel through Kṛṣṇa consciousness everything as Kṛṣṇa understands. At the present moment my individual consciousness, we are acting in individual consciousness.

Prabhupāda: You are acting according to your own body. Is it not?

Question 12: Yes. But then it makes no difference what I do.

Prabhupāda: Eh? What you will do that does not make difference but it makes difference when you act consciously, consciously, then it is something, and when you do without any consciousness, just like a mad man. He does something but his actions are not accepted as genuine. A mad man also acts and a sane man also acts. But a sane man's activities are accepted that it is genuine and the mad man's activity is not accepted as genuine? So, so long we are not acting in Kṛṣṇa consciousness that action has no, I mean, actual value. It has got some temporary value but actually it is not giving us the ultimate result of our happiness. That is the defect without Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Yes?

Question 13: . . . . . . (indistinct) . . . . . . a greater consciousness of our self, our real self.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the supreme consciousness and other consciousness is limited. Just like you are consciousness, conscious of your particular body. If there is some pain in your body you are conscious. I am not conscious. So you are conscious of your bodily activities, I am conscious of my bodily activities but Kṛṣṇa consciousness is conscious of all the bodies, that is the universal consciousness. So if you profit your consciousness with Kṛṣṇa consciousness then you can feel through Kṛṣṇa consciousness everything as Kṛṣṇa understands. At the present moment my individual consciousness, we are acting in individual consciousness.

Yes?

Question 14: Is your mind your soul?

Prabhupāda: Mind? No, mind is not soul.
