<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, like that. Why should you bring your material ideas to the spiritual world? There is no relativity. Everything absolute.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: There is no day or night. Everything is self-illuminating.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is, but there is no need. What is this penguin? No, penguin? Literature?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: It's a bird found in the South Pole, penguin, lives in the south, bottom of the earth.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Bottom of the...?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: It's called Antarctica. Are there seasonal changes, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Rain and different seasonal...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everything is there, but there is no necessity. (pause) (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...to the USA, many sahajiyās, they requested me, "Sir, why you are going? You are in Vṛndāvana. Continue your bhajana. What is the use of preaching?"</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: What is the use of preaching?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Preaching. They advised me like that.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: They don't believe in Lord Caitanya, these sahajiyās in Vṛndāvana?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Mostly. They have no knowledge. Material. Prākṛta-sahajiyā. Their real name is prākṛta. Their thoughts are on this material platform. Just as they are preferring this conjugal love because here the sex is prominent. They are thinking that is the highest stage. What is the lowest stage here, they're taking that as the highest stage. In the.... Of course, in the spiritual world there is such thing, but as Kṛṣṇa has many other līlās, why they are not attracted to other līlās?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: They don't want to be limited. They think that Kṛṣṇa is the kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam ([[Vanisource:SB 1.3.28|SB 1.3.28]]). So why...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is good. That is always true, but Kṛṣṇa says,</p>
:manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu
:kaścid yatati siddhaye
:yatatām api siddhānāṁ
:kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.3|BG 7.3]])
<p>How you have understood Kṛṣṇa? Kṛṣṇa says, "Out of many millions of people, one becomes siddha, and out of many millions of siddhas, hardly one can understand Me." So how you have understood Kṛṣṇa so easily, within two years? What you have understood Kṛṣṇa, that is materially understood. You do not know what is Kṛṣṇa. That is prākṛta-sahajiyā. "Oh, we have understood. Kṛṣṇa was a playboy, dancing with His girls. Bas, we have understood. Now we shall..."</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: "If I follow the regulative principles and go on hearing about rāsa-līlā, then I'll be purified."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You say that. In the śāstra does not say. Śāstra says that after you have studied all the nine cantos of Bhāgavatam, then enter into the tenth. Sahajiyā means they take very easily. "I am.... Everything is all right. Now I am perfect." That is sahajiyā. Kṛṣṇa says, "To understand Me, it will take millions of years." And they understand Kṛṣṇa immediately. That is their.... That is called prākṛta-sahajiyā.</p>
