| [slideshow id=1] | Syamasundara, February 28, 1972: How do we know when we are pleasing God? |
Srila Prabhupada: When we see Him. Then you will understand. Just as, when you eat, you do not require to ask anyone whether you are feeling strength or your hunger is satisfied. If you eat, you understand that you are feeling energy. You don’t need to inquire from anyone. Similarly. if you actually serve God, then you will understand, “God is dictating to me. God is there. I am seeing God.”
A devotee: Or God’s representative.
Srila Prabhupada: Yes.
Devotee: It comes easier.
Srila Prabhupada: You have to go through God’s representative.
