Let your holy name be glorified.' Srila Prabhupada then describes the Krishna consciousness movement as not sectarian but scientific, because it teaches what he calls the science of God, knowledge of His name, form, qualities, and activities that is absent from modern education. He explains that God is absolute, meaning there is no difference between His name and Himself, unlike in the material world where chanting 'water' will not quench one's thirst. Therefore by chanting Hare Krsna one is directly in contact with God, an experience he personally affirms. He then turns to our identity: we are the eternal enjoyer (purusva) who changes temporary bodies and designations, and the intelligent inquiry into what we really are, atata-brahma-jijnasa, is the beginning of human life. Prabhupada observes that in this material world we actually suffer while mistaking it for enjoyment, comparing a hard-earned paycheck to a mere piece of paper. He notes that those absorbed in sense gratification are called demons while those who use their lives for God realization are godly, citing the example of Prahlada Maharaja and his father. The session ends with questions: one asks about the doctrine of Krishna consciousness, and another, quoting Srimad-Bhagavatam, asks why we are here if Krsna did not want us to come to the material world, to which Prabhupada replies that like a child who insists on going against his father's advice, we insist, and God, who does not interfere with our little independence, simply sanctions it.
