Everything is product of Krsna, energy. So we are not worshiping stone. We are worshiping Krsna in a form which is tangible for us, that's all. Not that Krsna is stone. Krsna is stone also, because stone is nothing but Krsna's energy. So in this way you should understand what is Krsna consciousness. Don't remain foolish Perfect knowledge. Perfect knowledge. Kasmin tu bhagavo vijnate sarvam idam vijnatam bhavati. Simply if you understand Krsna, everything will be known to you. And if you actually understand Krsna, then your life is successful. Immediately you are eligible to go back to home, back to Godhead. Immediately. Janma karma me divyam yo janati tattvatah, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti [Bg. 4.9]. "That man who has understood Me rightly, he is no more coming back to accept this temporary material body. He comes to me." So try to understand Krsna, and the beginning is karna-patha, these holes of the ear. Lend your ears to hear from the devotee. That's all. Na yat-karna-pathopetah. It is not that you have to pass MAD, DHC, no.
Simply lend your ear, "Oh, let us hear about Krsna." Then everything is all right. Sthane sthitah sruti-gatam tanu-van-manobhih. Krsna is unconquerable, but if you simply hear about Him in your position, sruti-gatam, through the aural reception, you will conquer Krsna. Krsna's name is Ajita, nobody can conquer Krsna. But if you simply hear about Krsna, time will come, you will conquer Krsna. Like the gopis. They conquered Krsna. Krsna was within the hand, or the grip, of the gopis. Krsna could not go away even an inch from Vrndavana on account of the gopis. What was their education? They were village girls. Not even brahmana. Uneducated girls, village girls, but they conquered Krsna. So this aural reception is so great.
