Everyone is KC

Srila Prabhupada often said that if devotion is present, scholarship needn't be accessed for Krishna consciousness. In one lecture, he quoted Krsnadasa Kaviraja's verse, nitya siddha krsna prema (from Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya-lila, 22.107) and then said: "Udaya means awaken. The Krsna is there. In everyone's heart. It is dormant. Simply by sravanadi, by pure hearing process... Just like a man is sleeping. The consciousness is there, but he appears to be unconscious. He is sleeping. But if somebody calls him, `Mr. such and such, wake up, wake up. Wake up.' So after two, three callings, he wakes up. He remembers, `Oh, I have got to do so many things.' Similarly, the Krsna consciousness is dormant in everyone's heart. This Hare Krsna mantra is the process of awakening. That's all."
