Prabhupada 0703 - If You Absorb Your Mind With Krsna Then It Is Samadhi
Lecture on BG 6.46-47 -- Los Angeles, February 21, 1969
Devotee: Prabhupāda? Is the samādhi which is the perfection of this eightfold yoga system the same as the samādhi of bhakti-yoga?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Samādhi means to absorb the mind with Viṣṇu. That is samādhi. So if you absorb your mind with Kṛṣṇa then it is samādhi. [break] Any inquiry? He'll ask. All right.
Young boy: Swamiji? You said that, that when, if you eat too much you will pay. But how about the devotees? How about when they eat too much prasāda?
Prabhupāda: You want to eat more?
Young boy: I just want to know how to…
Prabhupāda: You think you are eating more? So you can eat more.
Young boy: I thought I could…
Prabhupāda: Yes, you can eat more. Yes, it is medical advice, that there are two kinds of mistakes in eating. Over-eating and under-eating. So under-eating mistake for old man is very good. And over-eating mistake for boys, that is good. So you can overeat. I cannot.
Young boy: How about Tamāla and Viṣṇujana? (laughter)
Prabhupāda: He cannot. You can. You can eat as much as you like. Free pass. (laughter)
