Srila Prabhupada, Hawaii, February 8, 1975: The insignificant ant gets information that in the other corner of the room, which is one hundred miles for the ant… Because the world is relative, relative world, so this length of the room, from this corner to the other corner, for an ant it is hundred miles, yes, because the world is relative according to the size, atomic size, the distance.
Now we have got speedy aeroplane. The distance has reduced. Distance from Honolulu to India, if you go by land it will be ten thousand miles, but… It is ten thousand miles, but the speedy aeroplane has reduced. So relatively… Everything is relative. This is called relative world.
Professor Einstein, he has proved the law of relativity. So the ant, he has to go, to pick up one grain of sugar, by going hundred miles in his capacity, but it will go. That is desire. You have got experience. You put little sugar here. You don’t invite ants, but they’ll come. They’ll come.
They’ll get immediately information. Just like from Europe many people came in America—gold rush desire. So desire must be there. The ant has desire; Lord Brahma has desire; I have got desire; you have got desire. This is artificial, to make desireless. That is not possible.
Therefore bhakti means to purify the desire. That is bhakti. Anyabhilasita-sunyam.
anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavritam anukulyena krishnanu-silanam bhaktir uttama [BRS 1.1.11]
