Prabhupada was able to understand each mentality, individually, in such a way that he was able to show us light from darkness, in every aspect of our Krishna conscious life. But unless we have someone there to reveal that to us, it is a little slow. But in the process of self-realization, we learn from our downsides. That’s our past. Anything averse to Krishna is our downside–forgetting Krishna. Remembering Krishna is the goal. Forgetting Krishna is the constitutional position of the living entity–that is what we have been doing through all of these species of lives. And when we get to the human form of life, it is so wonderful that we can look back and go – “I have just wasted time. Oh Krishna. I’ve just wasted so much time.” That is Hari Hari Bifale.
