<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Discussion with Guests -- December 23, 1969, Boston|Discussion with Guests -- December 23, 1969, Boston]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Guest (2) (Indian man): I want to love everyone.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then you... That is bogus. You cannot love everybody. If you love God, then you can love everybody. Because God is everything. So just like if you pour water on the root...</p>
<p>Guest (2): If God is everything, then why don't you, not loving one by one? Why...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. But you... That is... Just like if you love one tree, then you have to pour water on the root. Not that every leaf. If you want to maintain your body, then you have to supply foodstuff in the stomach. Not to your eyes. Not to your ear. When you get a nice cake, you don't put it here. You put it here. Why? That is the process. There are nine holes in your body. Why do you put in this hole?</p>
<p>Guest (2): Yes, but...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: First of all answer this.</p>
<p>Guest (2): Well, I agree with you, but...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You have to follow the real process; then you'll get it. That is love.(?)</p>
<p>Guest (2): You have to go to the root but in the meantime we don't ignore everything else. I mean...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If you ignore the root and you take the leaf you simply spoil your time.</p>
<p>Guest (2): No, but what I wanted to say is that why can't love of the God and love of matter go and rise up to...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, if you love God, you love matter and God...</p>
<p>Because matter is energy of God.</p>
<p>Guest (2): Then you said that the technique, that you decide as to whether you are succeeding is, you'll find out whether a technique is the best or not when your love for God will increase and love for matter will decrease.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. In relationship with God... What is matter? Matter is another manifestation of God's energy. Just like if you love yourself, your body, then naturally you love your finger, the part of the body. Therefore God is the supreme whole. If you love God, then you can understand that I have to love everybody.</p>
