B. Radha-Govinda (ACBSP) — After speaking on Bhagavad-Gita, verses 2.8-12 on Nov 27, 1968, Srila Prabhupada replied to a devotee’s question (regarding Sukadev Goswami):
“That is the sign of liberated soul. Because to become attracted by Krishna, that is our normal condition. So he was liberated; therefore normally he became attracted with Krishna’s pastimes.
That is his normal life. One who is not attracted by Krishna’s pastimes, he will be attracted by President Johnson’s pastimes. (laughter) One has to be attracted. One has to be attracted by the dog’s pastimes.
Don’t you see a person how he is serving the dog? The dog stands, passes urine, he also stands. You see? He’s a human being, and he is waiting for the dog passing urine. How much he is attending the pastimes of the dog?
So if you are not attracted by the pastimes of God, then you’ll have to be attracted by the pastimes of the dog. There is no other alternative. Either maya or Krishna. The atheist, agnostic, they deny Krishna’s pastimes; therefore they remain attracted by the pastimes of this material world.”
