Prabhupada, New York, November 29, 1966: […] So in this life, while we are in the material world, so we have our material body. So this devotional service, Krishna consciousness, doing everything in Krishna consciousness, this is just like, what is called, apprenticeship to reach that highest stage. The same thing will be there in your liberated stage in the spiritual kingdom.
But here, by the order of the sastra, by the guidance of the spiritual master, you are being trained up as apprentice. This is called abhidheya, abhidheya, practice, practice. But even in practice you will feel that “I am making progress.” It is such a thing. ‘Abhidheya’ bali’ tare sarva-sastre gaya. And,
dhana paile yaiche sukha-bhoga phala paya sukha-bhoga haite duhkha apani palaya
taiche bhakti-phale krsne prema upajaya prema krsnasvada haile bhava nasa paya
Very important passage. Just note it carefully. Now, by apprenticeship, by practice, if one sincerely follows this practice, then what is the result? Dhana paile yaiche sukha-bhoga phala paya. Just like a poor man, if he gets sufficient money, then at once his all distress is over, at once, immediately.
Simultaneously, as soon as the sun is in the sky, at once the darkness is gone. Just in the morning, a little, not sun directly, but even there is sunshine far away, immediately the darkness goes away. I am in distress; I am in poverty-stricken.
Suppose I get immediately some large amount of money. Immediately my distress gone. So exactly like that, dhana paile yaiche sukha-bhoga phala paya, then automatically he becomes happy, a poor man when he gets money. Similarly, as soon as we have little taste of this devotional service, at once all our miserable life becomes happy at once. Yes. Sukha-bhoga haite duhkha apani palaya. And if there is happiness, where is the question of misery? If there is light, where there is question of darkness?
So a person in Krishna consciousness, he cannot be in distress of material miseries. Full Lecture
