<p>Prabhupāda: No, both of them are. The father...</p>
<p>Reporter (1): But then how do we.... Then why do we commit sins? God doesn't.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like we are at the present moment in impure condition. That is material. Therefore the human form of life is a chance to be free from the impurity.</p>
<p>Reporter (1): But, sir, if we are drop of the same ocean, why should we be impure at all?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. We are pure constitutionally.</p>
<p>Reporter (1): Then from where does this impurity come?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is.... Just like your are healthy, but wherefrom the disease comes? You are not diseased now, but sometimes disease comes. Wherefrom it comes? So at the present moment we are in diseased condition. This has to be cured. Otherwise we are pure, as pure as God.</p>
<p>Reporter (1): Then what is the way to purity?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is Bhagavad-gītā.</p>
<p>Reporter (1): You mean the mere recital of Bhagavad-gītā...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not recite, to understand and to act.</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: Prescription.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: That is the prescription.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The whole thing is described in the Bhagavad-gītā.</p>
