<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- August 21, 1971, London|Room Conversation -- August 21, 1971, London]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Haṁsadūta: And another thing I wanted to ask you about, Prabhupāda, is that Maṇḍalībhadra, he wants to make your literature perfect, which is natural because we want to make the nicest presentation. But the devotees are saying that the translation... For instance, this Easy Journey to Other Planets, has been in the process so long, it has so many times been reworked, that it's no longer palatable to them. They don't even read it. They'd rather have the English version. So I know that Your Divine Grace has said you have full faith in his ability to do the work...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. If you... you find out somebody else. He can also do.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Because my opinion is that he's becoming overworked, it's becoming strained, so much so that we're not even able to bring it to the printer because he insists on making every time more and more corrections.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (chuckles) It never comes to perfection.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: It never comes to perfection. It can, you know. For instance, this little booklet, Easy Journey to Other Planets, one of the things that has been holding it up is because the diacritic marks, to get the diacritic marks in there perfectly... We took it to a professional composer. Of course, they're not experienced, so they didn't, at first they didn't want to do it and then... At any rate, my opinion was first let us print it without the diacritic marks, and then the second edition make it with diacritic marks. Improve it by editions rather than wait until it's completely perfect before we put it on the market because...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But if once it is made perfect, then it will be easier to print more and more.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: That's true, but see, what has happened is the entire sum has been lost...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He could not finish any one?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: No, not even the magazine was finished. The magazine before this recent one, I put it together myself from old magazines.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There are so many German students. They cannot do?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: They can do, but the thing is that you have said that he is the chief and unless it goes through him, it can't be printed.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. No, no. No, no. No, no.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Everything is bottle-necked around him.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Now, the important subject, he may do slowly, but...</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Like Bhagavad-gītā or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Others may be done by others. You print it. Even there is some mistake, that doesn't matter.</p>
