Los Angeles, Thursday, 10 May, 1973: My Dear Ho Hon Pei, please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 3, 1973 and have noted the contents.
Thank you very much for your kind appreciation of our Krishna Consciousness Movement. You are having some doubts whether or not the mass of people will be able to appreciate Krishna Consciousness.
Yes, it is a fact that most people cannot approach Krishna Consciousness. Just like a rare gem. Only a few men can purchase a rare emerald or diamond so similarly only a few men may actually be capable of grasping the importance of Krishna Consciousness. It is confirmed in the Bhagavad Gita VII, 3.
manusyanam sahasresu
kascid yatati siddhaye
yatatam api siddhanam
kascin mam vetti tattvatah
[Bg. 7.3]
“Out of many thousands of men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.”
If just .01% of the world’s population becomes Krishna Conscious, the whole situation on the earth will change. Just see what has happened. I started alone in 1966 and in just seven years now we are three thousand, and it is growing more and more.
So if the intelligent men of the world like yourself cooperate with this all-important mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we can save the world from the state of misery and chaos that now prevails.
Hoping this meets you in good health.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
pamho agtsp the world can be save when people realise that everything is moving in krsna because everything is krsna and in the same time different from krsna acintya bheda abheda tattva like the milk and the cow the milk is a product of the cow but is not the cow whoever doesn’t surrender to krsna through these realizations must be considered a rascal as srila prabhupada use to say because without sri krsna there is not perfection acbsp use to say that sri krsna go inside everything in such way that everything become manifest in the right way nothing is superior to him and everything rest in him is enough to accept these simply truth to get relief from misery and chaos but people prefer the stool instead of the sandesh like the pigs that’s why gauranga mahaprabhu bring the treasure of the holy name to make us aware of our real business na te viduh svartha gatim hi visnum durasaya ye bahir artha maninah andha yathandhair upaniyamanas te pisa tantryam uru damni baddhah srimad bhag 7.5.31 so the best way to get rid of misery and chaos is to be engaged in the service of the holy name because even the smallest problem become very big without depending completely on this engagement through the service to the holy name bhagavatam murti sadhu and the holy dhama these are the main 5 most important rule of our engagement to the holy name and these 5 activities must be there everyday that’s the root of bhakti yoga and acbsp as saktyavesha avatara spread it around all over the world this is the proof of someone who is surrender to krsna by realise the acintya bheda abheda tattva agtys your servant seva das anu das
