Prabhupāda: The home attachment is so great. These Delhi passengers, they are coming, hanging, and there are so many accidents daily. And few hours he will live with wife. That is his home. And whole other, out of twenty-four hours, seventeen hours are outside, and maybe seven hours at home. But still, he'll come home. The home attachment is very big. Therefore we have to create attachment for this hari-saṅkīrtana. If you create that attachment, then they will give up home attachment, try life, to live here. Tathāsakti. You have to train them in Kṛṣṇa consciousness in such a way. Then:
- ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-
- saṅgo 'tha bhajana-kriyā
- tato 'nartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt
- tato niṣṭhā rucis tataḥ
- (CC Madhya 23.14-15)
Tathāsakti. Then they will be attached here. Spiritually if you enlighten them, then they'll be attached. They'll voluntarily say they are accepting here. The chanting, chanting, then . . . this is the beginning that, "You chant and take prasādam." Then ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam (CC Antya 20.12). Gradually the heart will be cleansed, and gradually they will be elevated to the platform of āsakti. Then they will not want money, they will not want . . . then they will live here, work, just you are doing. That stage, that requires little advancement. Therefore I say this kīrtana program must be continued. Then ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam. As you make the heart cleansed, they become more and more advanced. And then this stage of āsakti that, "This is . . . we shall live here." Just like we have given up our hearth and home and wife and children. We have given up that attachment. This attachment, practical. That is . . . you cannot expect immediately. That is not possible. Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate (BG 2.59). When one gets better attachment, then they can give up this nasty attachment. Therefore we have to continue this saṅkīrtana. This is the psychology. But there is very great prospect to develop this place, and you have got experience. If you can develop, it will be very nice example. Once successful here, we can introduce this program. And India will be easier because they are by nature inclined to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It will be easier. The kīrtana must be there. Otherwise, why we have to take so much responsibility?
Tejiyas: Last night it was very hard. Again, no one was coming to the kīrtana.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Tejiyas: These persons who are staying here in the garb of devotees, if they don't come . . .
Mahāṁśa: Devotees. No one would come.
Tejiyas: It was a great struggle. Again Jagadīśa and I and Mūrti, we were alone there, and we had to go and get people, and again they wouldn't come.
Prabhupāda: So what is the use?
Tejiyas: This Kṛṣṇan wouldn't come, and this other boy never comes. They should be made to leave. Otherwise they must follow the program. Kīrtana is so nice. All day we may be doing something. The only relief we get, from kīrtana.
Prabhupāda: No, without kīrtana, it is . . .
Mahāṁśa: Refreshes you completely.
Prabhupāda: If you stop kīrtana, then it is ordinary.
