30 Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers
provided it is delivered as it is. Just as we are teaching
Bhagavad-gita. In Bhagavad-gita Krsna says:

sarva-dharmdan parityajya

mam ekarh Saranam vraja

“Just give up all other forms of religion and simply sur-
render unto Me.” Now we are saying that you should give
up everything and surrender to Krsna. Therefore, there is
no difference between Krsna’s instruction and our instruc-
tion. There is no deviation. So if you receive knowledge in
that perfect way, that is as good as receiving instruction
directly from Krsna. But we don’t change anything.
BOB: When I pray reverently, faithfully, does Krsna hear
me?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yes.
BOB: From me to Him?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yes, because He is within your heart
He is always hearing you—whether you are praying or not
praying. When you are doing some nonsense, He is also
hearing you. And when you pray, that is very good—
welcome.
BOB: To Krsna’s ear, is praying louder than nonsense?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: No. He is all-perfect. He can hear
everything. Even if you don’t speak, even if you simply
think, “I shall do it,” then He hears you. Sarvasya caham hrdi
sannivistah: Krsna is seated in everyone’s heart.
BOB: But one should pray— is that so?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: That is his business — praying.
BOB: Whose business?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Every living entity’s. That is the only
business. Eko bahiinarh yo vidadhati kaman. That is the state-
ment of the Vedas.
