<div class="heading">You may not desire, but if you are not strong, you'll be misled by these rascals. But if we follow this instruction, Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, āra nā koriho mane āśā, oh, then you become strong.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- January 28, 1977, Bhuvanesvara|Room Conversation -- January 28, 1977, Bhuvanesvara]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: These sahajiyās will come out of so many devotees. What can be done? From my Guru Mahārāja's disciples, so many sahajiyās came. These are called sahajiyās. Very easily they capture thing. So my Guru Mahārāja used to say, "When my disciples will be sahajiyā, it will be more dangerous." He used to say like that. Take things very easily. You know that Puruṣottama, supposed to be my Godbrother?</p>
<p>Pṛthu-putra: No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You don't know?</p>
<p>Pṛthu-putra: In Māyāpur?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In Vṛndāvana.</p>
<p>Pṛthu-putra: In Vṛndāvana. Ah, yes. Puruṣottama, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He has poisoned this Nitāi.</p>
<p>Pṛthu-putra: Oh. Is it because we have the desire to come in contact with such persons that we contact them, like Nitāi contacting that Puruṣottama?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You may not desire, but if you are not strong, you'll be misled by these rascals. But if we follow this instruction, Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, āra nā koriho mane āśā, oh, then you become strong. Then you remain strong. Our bhakti line is anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam (Brs. 1.1.11). We should be completely zero of our material desires. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]). Śūnyam means zero.</p>
