Becoming Pure

BOB:  Yes.
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  But if you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, you will feel happy always.
BOB:  They had implied that you cannot feel happy without Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  That is a fact. For example, if you are an animal of the land and you are thrown into the water, you cannot be happy in water in any condition. When you are again taken up to the land, then you'll be happy. Similarly, we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. We cannot be happy without being part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa.

ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  Kṛṣṇa is mine. Kṛṣṇa is mine.
BOB:  Yes.
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  And I am Kṛṣṇa's. That is our actual position.
BOB:  We are part of Kṛṣṇa.
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  Yes. Everything is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Because everything is generated by the energy of Kṛṣṇa and everything  is  the energy of Kṛṣṇa.
AN INDIAN GENTLEMAN:  Śrila Prabhupāda, I have one question. What is the status of service minus devotion?
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  Hm-m? That is not service, that is
