Devotee, August 5, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm): […] Srila Prabhupada mentioned that everyone is looking for pleasure. So when one comes into devotional service, how is it possible to know if one is actually looking for his own pleasure or really in search of God?
Prabhupada: So long you’ll seek your own pleasure, you’ll suffer. And when you’ll seek Krishna’s pleasure, you’ll enjoy. The example is given: Just like you catch up some sweetmeat, the fingers. If the fingers say, “We shall enjoy it,” you spoil it. But if the fingers put it to Krishna, then you’ll enjoy it. Unless you know this art, that we cannot enjoy independently, that is not possible.
If we enjoy through Krishna, Krishna’s prasadam, then we’ll be happy. This is the Krishna consciousness art. Directly you cannot enjoy, that is not possible. They are making this mistake. They want to satisfy their senses directly. That is not possible. That is spoiling the life. And if you satisfy the senses of Krishna, the through Krishna you satisfy yourself.
This is the technique. The same analogy. The fingers cannot directly enjoy the sweet ball, but when the sweet ball is put into the stomach, these five fingers enjoy, also these five fingers enjoy. These five fingers, whole body will enjoy. Full Lecture
