<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Ho Hon Pei -- Los Angeles 10 May, 1973|Letter to Ho Hon Pei -- Los Angeles 10 May, 1973]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">My Dear Ho Hon Pei,</p>
<p>Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 3, 1973 and have noted the contents.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your kind appreciation of our Krsna Consciousness Movement. You are having some doubts whether or not the mass of people will be able to appreciate Krsna Consciousness. Yes, it is a fact that most people cannot approach Krsna Consciousness. Just like a rare gem. Only a few men can purchase a rare emerald or diamond so similarly only a few men may actually be capable of grasping the importance of Krsna Consciousness. It is confirmed in the Bhagavad Gita VII, 3.</p>

<p>"Out of many thousands of men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth."</p>
<p>If just .01% of the world's population becomes Krsna Conscious, the whole situation on the earth will change. Just see what has happened. I started alone in 1966 and in just seven years now we are three thousand, and it is growing more and more.</p>
<p>So if the intelligent men of the world like yourself cooperate with this all-important mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we can save the world from the state of misery and chaos that now prevails.</p>
<p>Hoping this meets you in good health.</p>
<p>Your ever well-wisher,</p>
:A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
