The taste of transcendence at every step ...,.,.....there was a person who used to attend regularly to hear religious discourses, even in inclement weather. Other persons might not show up, but he would always come. We would praise him, You have a good taste for spiritual things. After hearing discourses continuously for eight or nine months, that person suddenly stopped coming to the Math. We asked some of the other people who attended the discourse, Where is he? What is the matter? They said, We have seen him, but we do not know his address. We thought that perhaps he had left Calcutta, or perhaps he was ill or otherwise indisposed. We had no way to contact him. But, one day, by Lords desire, while I was going through the streets of Calcutta, I met him. Oh, I said, We have been deprived of your company for a long time. Were you not here in Calcutta? No, he said, I have always been here. Then, why have you not been coming? Have you been ill? No, he said, I have been to your place. I have heard everything. Your only advice is worship Krishna, worship Krishna, perform harinam. If there is some new thing, then I shall come again. Ive already heard it all. So, there is no new thing. You have to do harinam. This person attended the meetings for intellectual simulation, not for bhajan. If he had come to the temple with the desire to perform worship, the Gods grace would have come to him and at every step he would have found a new taste of ambrosia - a taste of the transcendental. No aspect of transcendental things can become stale. Prasadam cannot become stale. The glories of transcendental cannot become stale.
