<div class="heading">Yes. That I explained, sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa, tamo-guṇa. Those who are in sattva-guṇa, they can understand easily. Those who are in rajo-guṇa, they have got difficulty. And those who are in tamo-guṇa, they cannot.

<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That I explained, sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa, tamo-guṇa. Those who are in sattva-guṇa, they can understand easily. Those who are in rajo-guṇa, they have got difficulty. And those who are in tamo-guṇa, they cannot. (French)</p>
<p>Madame Devi: (French)</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: "Is this degree of covering, whether they are in goodness, in passion or in ignorance, is that a question of their physical body? Is it a question of their hormones or chemical state? Is it a chemical state that some people are more covered than others by the modes of nature?"</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Covered means with some dirty things. That's all.</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: By past karma.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just like the sun is covered with the cloud. That list is like that.</p>
<p>Madame Devi: (French)</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: She asks if by repeating the mantra, the name of God, it has more...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You become purified. Purified.</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: You give the example all the time of the more you polish the mirror, the more the light can shine. (French)</p>
<p>Madame Devi: (French)</p>
<p>Pṛthu Putra: She says, "Therefore we have to repeat a lot of times the name of God every day."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. Yes.</p>
<p>Madame Devi: (French)</p>
<p>Pṛthu Putra: She is very happy to meet you and she thanks you.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Thank you very much.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: Tell her also that at the time of death one who fixes the mind on the name of God will go back to God.</p>
<p>Madame Devi: Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: So it's time for Śrīla Prabhupāda's massage. (break)</p>
