Prabhupāda: So actually, if you offer kṛṣṇa-prasāda, fulfilling the whole hall, as many times, fifty-six times... Fifty-six times means you have got only twenty-four hours. How many times in an hour? Without sleeping, without doing anything. Kṛṣṇa will accept. Kṛṣṇa will accept. And I want it. You American people, you have got so much money, you engage your money in that way. Don't spoil your life by this way and that way. So you can do that. You have got enough, sufficient means to offer Kṛṣṇa fifty-six times. You see? Just see the result. That is utilization. That is karma-yoga. One has the capacity to earn like anything and to spend for Kṛṣṇa like anything. That is karma-yoga.
It is not inertia. "I have got... Chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, I shall go and sit down, eat at the expense of others and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa." No. This is karma-yoga. Prāṇair arthair dhiyā vācāḥ. You have to employ your life, your money, your words, and your intelligence, all for Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If you have got enough money, spend it for Kṛṣṇa. Don't stock it. The more you spend, more you become balanceless for spending Kṛṣṇa, then more you are benefited. This is the process.
That will be taught in the karma-yoga section. And how one can, unless one is spiritually advanced how he can sacrifice his hard-earned money for Kṛṣṇa? Everyone thinks, "Oh, I have earned this money working so hard. Why shall I spend it for Kṛṣṇa? Let me keep it. I shall do it for my sense gratification." This is, this kind of advancement is no value. You see. How one has learned to sacrifice everything for Kṛṣṇa.
Just like Arjuna. He sacrificed his whole family for Kṛṣṇa. In the beginning he hesitated, "How can I kill my family members, this fight?" And when he became Kṛṣṇa conscious, "Never mind, I shall kill all of them." This is called sacrifice. This is Kṛṣṇa conscious. He sacrificed all sentiments, all connection, everything for Kṛṣṇa. That is called sannyāsa, real sannyāsa. Although he was a warrior, a fighter, a householder having more than dozen wives, but he was sannyāsa. Because he sacrificed everything for Kṛṣṇa. That is wanted. That is Kṛṣṇa conscious.
So everyone can test how far he has advanced simply by this, "How far I have become prepared to sacrifice everything for Kṛṣṇa?" He doesn't require to take certificate from others. He can test himself, "How far I am prepared?" Then it is all right. This is the standard. All right. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. (devotees offer obeisances) You are not getting another mṛdaṅga? You have no money?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We have no money yet.
Prabhupāda: Oh. (laughs) All right. If you require, you can get... I'll pay you money.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We'll pay you. Well, we'll get some more.
Prabhupāda: That's all right.
Madhudviṣa: We have money. We will get one very soon.
Prabhupāda: You ask somebody to give you one mṛdaṅga, contribute. If he asks where it is available, you can give the address and he can send the money there. It is not a very difficult task. What do they charge? Fifty dollars?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So ask somebody to give fifty dollars, send to New York. Yes. We don't want cash. Give us in kind. That is also nice. Yes. (kīrtana begins)
Prabhupāda: What is that? What is that? What is that?
Dayānanda: It's a pie.
Prabhupāda: Pie?
Dayānanda: A pie, yes.
Prabhupāda: It will be offered to the Deity?
Dayānanda: Hm?
Prabhupāda: It is to be offered to the Deity?
Dayānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So why you are sitting here?
Dayānanda: (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: Oh. All right. Sit down. (kīrtana)
Prabhupāda: Vāmanadeva? It is fainting(?).
Vāmanadeva: Shaking.
Prabhupāda: Yes. When I stand it will (?) going
Vāmanadeva: There should be more steps here for you. I notice it's too...
Prabhupāda: It's not steady. No, still the platform is not tight. You should...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It needs supports. More supports.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Because... You should have... (pause) What is that?
Jaya-gopāla: It looks like a chestnut.
Prabhupāda: Chestnut? (eating)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It would be nice if we had a new altar for the Deities. When the new Deities are installed, if we could have a new altar, that would be nice.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That will be changed.(?) We shall do that. First of all let us have the new Deity. (break) That will be discussed later on. We have come to the chapter; it will discuss.
Devotee: Prabhupāda? Would you like to take a piece of pie home with you?
Prabhupāda: What is that?
Devotee:: It's squash pie with raisins and banana and chestnut and anise.
Prabhupāda: Why did you not give me in the beginning?
Devotee:: It wasn't... It wasn't all ready.
Prabhupāda: We shall take later on? We shall take it later on?
Devotee:: I was going to give the remainder of it to saṅkīrtana to take to the house.
Prabhupāda: Let them, take them.
Devotee:: Okay. Would you like to take a piece with you?
Prabhupāda: Yes, you can give it. (pause) I have taken. (end)
