164 THE SCIENCE OF SELF-REALIZATION

Mr. Faill: You mean things like meat, alcohol, and tobacco just reinforce

bodily consciousness?

Srila Prabhupada: Yes. Suppose you have a disease and you want to be

cured. You have to follow the instructions of a physician. If he says,

‘Don’t eat this; eat only this,’’ you have to follow his prescription.

Similarly, we also have a prescription for being cured of the bodily con-

ception of life: chanting Hare Krsna, hearing about Krgna’s activities,

and eating krsna-prasada. This treatment is the process of Krsna

consciousness.
