<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- March 14, 1976, Mayapur|Morning Walk -- March 14, 1976, Mayapur]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Pañca-draviḍa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is our fortune that we've come in contact with a qualified guru? What have we done to qualify to come in contact with you?</p>
<p>Revatīnandana: In other words, why do some come and others not come?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is the ajñāta-sukṛti, say. Ajñāta-sukṛti. You might have done something, very pious activities, which you do not know, but on the effect of...</p>
<p>Madhudviṣa: So it seems like it's up to chance, then.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No chance. Just like a sinful man. Some saintly person comes to him and he gives some money to him. He does not know that "I am doing very pious activity," but because he has given, he becomes pious.</p>
<p>Revatīnandana: If not even a blade of grass moves unless Kṛṣṇa sanctions it, then why does someone have the opportunity to perform such ajnata-sukrti, another person not?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, Kṛṣṇa wants.... Suppose a saintly person comes to a very sinful man. He needs some money. Immediately Kṛṣṇa says, "Give him some money. He requires." So he says, "All right, sir, take it." So Kṛṣṇa's desires, he gives. Unless Kṛṣṇa dictates from within, how he can give?</p>
<p>Hariśauri: So then where is the question of free will? If I want to give or not give...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, free will under Kṛṣṇa. You can become free will and become a big man immediately. Your free will sanctioned by Kṛṣṇa. You are not so free that whatever you like, you can do.</p>
