Now she is feeling freedom, expressing freedom. Don't express. Then you'll be again put into . . . no more. Oh! (chuckles) All right.

Everyone wants freedom. Yes. Don't touch. Don't touch, please.

Any other question? Hmm. Māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.32 (1972)|BG 9.32]]).

That is declared in the Bhagavad-gītā. Anyone who goes to Kṛṣṇa, he can attain the highest perfection of life. It does not depend that what family, what heritage, what country, what nation, what color, what education. No. Nothing. Simply one has to become willing devotee of Kṛṣṇa. That's all.
