Love is there.
Love is there.
The devotional service, love of Godhead is there, but to invoke it. This devotional service is not artificial. In every one of you there is dormant devotional service, as I have already explained, but they are exhibited in a different way. Instead of loving God, that devotional service is diverted in loving a dog. But the love is there. Love is there. Nitya-siddha krsna-bhakti sadhya kabhu naya. It is said that this Krsna consciousness movement is not an artificial thing that we have manufactured something, ideal thing, concocted, and we are preaching to the world that "You become Krsna conscious." No. The Krsna consciousness is there. What is that Krsna consciousness? To love God. That is there. We are simply helping that "You try to love God; then you'll be happy." That is our mission.
