And by taking, when he is cured he will find, 'Oh, it is very sweet'. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So then he has to recognize that there is some problem living in this material world. Prabhupāda: No. He does not find any happiness on account of his too much materialistic mind. Brahmānanda: That is the disease. Prabhupāda: That is the disease. So it has to be cured by this bhakti-yoga. So in the bhakti-yoga, in the beginning, it will taste bitter. Therefore they do not come. But if they take to bhakti-yoga, then the material disease will be cured and they will find it is very sweet. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Yes. |
