"So bhakti is so nice thing that very easily you can get favor of the Supreme Personality. And if Krishna is pleased upon you, then what remains? Everything you get. Everything you get. Yasmin vijnate sarvam eva vijnatam bhavanti. Easiest way to please Krishna... You don't require much money, much education, and nothing of the sort. Simply you require your heart: 'O Krishna, You are my Lord. You are my master eternally. I am Your servant eternally. Let me be engaged in Your service.' That is Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. This is the meaning of Hare Krishna mantra: 'O Krishna, O energy of Krishna, I am Your servant. Somehow or other I have now fallen in this material condition. Kindly pick me up and engage me in service.'"
(Srila Prabhupada lecture, Mayapur, March 1, 1977)
