This Krsna consciousness movement is to cleanse the heart of the human being and get out all the…, projjhita, kick out all dirty things and concentrate on devotional service of Krsna. And the beginning is srnvatam, srnvatam, this process. It doesn’t require that you should be very rich man or you should be very educated or so on, so on. No. In whatever position you are, remain. There is no question of artificial improvement. There is no question. You remain. Simply God has given you the ear. Utilize it properly. That’s all. You don’t require to go to the university and get a Ph.D. degree and then you can understand. No.
