Srila Prabhupada did not make a personality cult—he taught the science of how to see God. As we understand more of the science of bhakti we will see God, just as Srila Prabhupada did. It is not that he will see Krishna and we will not see Him. Sometimes people would ask Prabhupada, “Are you seeing Krishna?” And Srila Prabhupada would answer, “So if I am, what good is it doing you? Are you seeing Him? If I am eating and you are not eating, what good is it if you watch me eat?” So we have to eat, and he is offering us that. And if we do not get it, we are the big loser. We are faithless. If our faith increases we will see Krishna immediately. That is what Prabhupada is offering us. Gradually, we will see only the lotus feet of the guru, and nothing else. In this age there are only three things of any value: the holy name of the Lord, service to the Vaishnavas and the remnants of the Vaishnava’s food. Srila Prabhupada has taught us and personally showed us how to be spiritually intelligent—how to get Krishna. Many people see many different things, but we see he has given that science to us.
