Room Conversation
Guest (1) (Indian man): [Hindi] [laughing]
Prabhupāda: That is the same...
Guest (1): Māyāvādīs may die like that, imagining... [Hindi] ...āra saba bhṛtya [Cc Ādi 5.142].
[Lord Kṛṣṅa alone is the supreme controller, and all others are His servants. They dance as He makes them do so.]
Prabhupāda: Yes. They are after..., inquiring after Brahmān, but nobody could give them. So they have got it. Now they are taking it. This is stage. [Hindi] That is the stage, sannyāsa stage. So these hippies, they are also giving up all work—that is sannyāsa—but there is no guide. There is no guide.
And because they have no guide, therefore their intelligence is not being purified. Simply there is a, I mean to say, a propensity for renunciation, tyāga. But tyāga... [Hindi] After renunciation, what is the next stage they do not know. That we are giving: "Yes, come here. Stand here." [laughs] Is it not?
Haṁsadūta: Yes. Exactly.
Prabhupāda: They are very successful. They are standing: "We don't want this." But they must stand. So they could not give the standing. But here is... Oh, here is standing. Therefore this movement is successful. They want some standing. And where is the standing? [Hindi] So unless you get a solid ground you cannot stand. You'll fall down.
Guest (2) (Indian man): [Hindi]
Prabhupāda: Prabhaviṣṅave namaḥ. Kirāṭa-huṅāndhra-pulin... [SB 2.4.18]
[Kirātas, Hūṅas, Āndhras, Pulindas, Pulkaśas, Ābhīras, Śumbhas, Yavanas, members of the Khasa races and even others addicted to sinful acts can be purified by taking shelter of the devotees of the Lord, due to His being the supreme power. I beg to offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.]
Huh? [Hindi]
[break] ...obeisance to guru. Then his guru, then his guru, up to Kṛṣṅa. [Hindi] ...paramparā system. You cannot directly approach God. That is useless. You have no power to approach God directly. That is not possible. Guru kṛṣṅa kṛpayā [Cc Madhya 19.151].
[According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛṣṅa. By the mercy of both Kṛṣṅa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.]
[Hindi] Let them study this philosophy. We have got books, enough books. One cannot read all these books even throughout whole life. [break]
Guest (2): I am going to...
Prabhupāda: [Hindi] You do actually work.
Guest (2): So I can also accompany you to certain places like...
Prabhupāda: You arrange. We can go there with all party. Now here in this part... You can get. This... Immediately we can go. From India...
Guest (2): From India, yes.
Prabhupāda: ...we can go to Indonesia.
Guest (2): At the end of March we can go there.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. You also come. Arrange like that. After finishing our program in Simla, let us go to Indonesia. You do it.
Guest (2): [indistinct]
Prabhupāda: That is a fact. At least at the present moment nobody can give better thing than what I am giving to the world. [Hindi]
Guest (2): [indistinct] There are many things you can give us. I'll arrange the tour.
Prabhupāda: You are present, a tourist program here?
Guest (2): I was doing. I...
Prabhupāda: So this program...
Guest (2): I wanted to join with the camp in the public, but nobody was convenienced...
Prabhupāda: No, you could have informed him. You could come to the pal... Anyway, next, next, tomorrow also we'll have.
Guest (2): I in no way want to disturb...
Haṁsadūta: No, you won't disturb. You'll enhance us.
Guest (2): Tomorrow I'll come.
Prabhupāda: Where you are staying here?
[break] ...actually inquisitive, he'll capture it. It is not the question of... Japan.
[break] ...personal ambition. It is service to Kṛṣṅa. Kṛṣṅa wants. Kṛṣṅa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ [Bg 18.66].
[Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.]
So we are canvassing.
Guest (2): So [indistinct]. I don't want to be crazy about it, but it, I could [indistinct].
Prabhupāda: That word, that brahma-jijñāsā, that is the position of the whole world. Yes, that is a position. They have enough seen about this material nonsense. Now that is the position. They want to know what is this Brahman.
Guest (2): It is called Treta-yuga. Treta-yuga.
Prabhupāda: No, this is not this yuga. This is called Kali-yuga. But... Then it will come, Satya-yuga. And that is long, long after, 400,000's of years after. [laughs] Yes. Hare Kṛṣṅa. Jaya. [end]
