Prabhupāda: Give him chance, alright . . . (indistinct) . . . just like there are many men they're taking care of the body in order to become like elephant. You either become elephant or tiger or anything, you'll have to die. And if you so desire, alright next life, you become elephant or tiger. That's all. Nature will give you the chance. You haven't got to try for all these things. You have to try only for Krsna. Tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovido (SB 1.5.18)
That is intelligence. Simply for Kṛṣṇa. There is simply to understand Kṛṣṇa. Anything else—waste of time. But in Kṛṣṇa's connection there are varieties. Now just like this. What is called this?
Bhagavān: Movie camera.
Prabhupāda: Movie camera. So, utilizing for Kṛṣṇa's purpose. So automatically you learn what is movie camera. Everything we are using. It is not that, we are using everything for sense gratification—for Kṛṣṇa. If this performance is being used for Kṛṣṇa, the movie camera we are living in very comfortable room. Everything is being utilized. Why you should give it up. If by living in a comfortable room taking advantage of this modern invention I can serve better Kṛṣṇa. Why should I not take it. Does it mean although the Dictaphone is there, still I shall write in my hand? Kṛṣṇa consciousness cannot touch this. We don't follow this nonsense philosophy, unnecessary vairāgya. Śuṣka-vairāgya, dry knowledge.
Devotee (1): Śuṣka-vairāgya.
Prabhupāda: Śuṣka. Śuṣka means dry. "Oh, it is material, I shall not touch. I shall not touch." Just like that rascal Ramakrishna, if anyone wanted to give him some money (gestures). (laughter) How . . . he does not touch money. These rascals, why shall I not touch? "Come on, you have got money, George Harrison. Spend. Yes, come on, I shall take it, for Kṛṣṇa." We haven't come to this house for living very comfortably and enjoying. No. We have come here for Kṛṣṇa's service.
Haṁsadūta: This point is revolutionary in spiritual circles.
Prabhupāda: Yes because it is Kṛṣṇa's property. It is not my property, neither George's property. This is mistake. Everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa, so it must be utilized for Kṛṣṇa.
Revatīnandana: Simply they don't know Bhagavad-gītā.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Revatīnandana: They don't know Bhagavad-gītā, therefore they don't understand us.
