Accepting / becoming (who can)

Imported quote 17367 That Krsna advises: man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namas.... Man-manaḥ... If you think of Krsna always, then naturally you become devotee of Krsna. Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktaḥ. And mad-yaji, and if you actually become devotee of Krsna, then you shall worship Krsna. And if you actually worship Krsna, then you must offer obeisances to Krsna. Therefore Krsna advises four things: man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru [Bg 18.65]. Then what will be the result? Mam evaisyasi. Simply by practicing these four things. It does not require any M.A., Ph.D., degree. Simply you have to agree, "Yes, I shall think of Krsna, chant Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna." You have to agree. That's all. That is required. Then gradually you become bhakta. Gradually you worship, and gradually you offer obeisances, surrender. That one, that is wanted by Krsna, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg 18.66].
(More...) Imported quote 18128 So we are in such darkness, and the whole world is in such darkness. Yasyatma-buddhiḥ kunape tri... They are taking this body as themself. There are so many things. So Krsna consciousness movement will give them enlightenment and give them liberation, and we therefore request everyone to take advantage. Now, Krsna consciousness means... The simple thing is that you chant Hare Krsna. But if you think yourself as very learned, thoughtful man, and you want to understand through science and philosophy, all right, come on. We have got books. Learn it. Two ways. We have got three dozen books like you[?]. You cannot finish it even in your whole life. Come on. Otherwise, if you are not so learned to read all these books, chant Hare Krsna. Two things are there. Take advantage, any one of them, and be liberated.
