Temple means an opportunity

The Four Kumaras, Sanaka-kumaradi, they were first of all
impersonalists, but after smelling the tulasi leaves which were
offered to the lotus feet of Visnu, they become personalists. So this
is an opportunity. If anyone comes, smells the flowers and the tulasi
offered to Krsna, tastes the prasada, and sees the Lord's form, in
this way he develops Krsna consciousness. So this is opportunity.

This temple means an opportunity, a process, a simple process. Not
simple for ordinary man, but actually it is simple. Anyone can smell
the flowers offered to Krsna. Anyone can eat the foodstuffs offered to
Krsna. Anyone can see the Deity so nicely decorated. Anyone can hear
Hare Krsna mantra.

So we have got these senses. So if we engage our senses in this way --
our seeing power, our hearing power, our talking power, our smelling
power, our touching power, our tasting power -- in this way, if we
engage everything in connection with Krsna, very easily we become
Krsna conscious. And as soon as we become Krsna conscious, then our
life is successful. We become liberated from this bondage of birth and
death. So this is the process.
