Prabhupada, Los Angeles, December 16, 1968: […] You mark this. When there is miseries, a Krishna conscious person takes the responsibility himself, and when there is happiness, it is due to Krishna. But the materialistic person is just the opposite. When he is in miseries, he’ll say, “Oh, God has put me into such miseries.”
And when he’s happiness, his friend says, “Oh, you are now well-to-do.”
“Yes, you do not know how much I have worked hard.”
When he’s happiness, he takes the credit for himself, and when he’s in distress, he gives the discredit to Krishna. “Oh, Krishna has put me into such miserable…”
But a Krishna conscious person, when he’s in distress, he’ll say, “Yes, due to my misdeeds I should have suffered a hundred times more than this distress, but Krishna is so kind, He has given me little. That’s all.”
And when he’s happiness, “Oh, it is all given by Krishna. Therefore all the opulence should be utilized for Krishna’s service.”
This is the difference. He’s asking, Arjuna is asking, what are the symptoms of Krishna conscious person. Sthita-prajna. Sthita-prajna means steadfast in intelligence. So these are the difference. Full Lecture
