Prabhupāda: man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṃ namaskuru mām evaiṣyasi kaunteya yuktvaivam mat-parāyaṇaḥ [Bg 9.34] [Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, offer obeisances and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me.] This śloka, this verse, we have already finished—the conclusion of the Ninth Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, that the Lord says that man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ: "Just always think of Me. Just become My devotee. And if you want to worship, just worship Me." Devotee: Anyone in the rear would like to move up, you could hear much better.

Prabhupāda: Come forward. Yes. And this is the process of devotional service. It is not very difficult.

Everyone can execute. To think of God, to offer some obeisances to God and to be..., to serve something, to render some service unto Him, and just to become a party of God. That, just like we identify, everyone identifies as to some party, either politically, socially or religiously, economically. We have got so many fields of activities.

But in each and every field, we have got a party feeling. You cannot avoid that. In political field, oh, you have got so many parties. Even in your own country, even there are Democratic party or Conservative party and this party, that party. Now worldwide is also the capitalistic party, the communistic party.

In our country also there is Congress party. So party's already there. Socially also, oh, "You are Christian," "I am Jew," "I am Hindu." Of course, this is religiously. And socially also.

In India, there is very social party. So you cannot avoid this partyism. All ladies and gentlemen who are present here, I ask you, do you not belong to any party? Can you deny, that "I don't belong to any party"?

Oh, everyone belongs to some party. Now spiritualism, spiritualism means that we should identify ourself as God's party. That's all. That is spiritualism. They ask so many things, that why the materialists are called crazy by the spiritualists?
