"If you can purchase Kṛṣṇa consciousness from any market, any store, please immediately buy it." Then next question is, "Then what is the price? What shall I have to pay for it?" And Rūpa Gosvāmī says: "Oh, the price is simply eagerness." Tatra laulyam. "Yes, I must have Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is the price, that's all.
But that Laulyam, that eagerness, is not achieved even after many, many births. That is the price. Therefore it requires a little intelligence. "Oh, such a valuable thing? I can purchase only by eagerness? Why not become eager immediately?" That is intelligence.

This body is changing. Just remember your childhood: oh, how much troublesome life we have undergone in our . . . at least I can remember. Everyone can remember. So stop this problem. Yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama ([[Vanisource:BG 15.6 (1972)|BG 15.6]]). And what is the difficulty? You do your own work and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. We don't say that you stop your business, stop your occupation. You remain. Just like he is teacher. All right, he is teacher. He is jeweler. Remain jeweler. He's something, he's something. That doesn't matter. But be Kṛṣṇa conscious. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Think of Kṛṣṇa. Take kṛṣṇa-prasādam. Everything is there. And be happy. That is our propaganda. You learn yourself, and preach this cult. People will be happy. Simple method.

Prabhupāda: Viśvanātha Prabhu, you understand English?

Woman: Yes.

Prabhupāda: You stay with your son?

Woman: No. I am visting him for a few weeks.

Prabhupāda: So why don't you stay here and join your son for preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Because your son is so good, you must be good. Because a son cannot be good unless the mother is good, because son inherits the mother's quality. That is nature. This Hayagrīva's mother wrote me first one letter of congratulations, and she came also to see me in New Vrindaban, his father and mother. Especially his mother is very happy.

So, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will produce good father and mother, and therefore they will have good children, and there will be no problem in the world. If everyone is Kṛṣṇa conscious . . . not everyone; even ten percent people become Kṛṣṇa conscious, there will be no problem. Problem is created due to bad children. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā: varṇa-saṅkara ([[Vanisource:BG 1.42 (1972)|BG 1.42]]). So if there are good children, there is no problem. Even in this material world, everything will become happy.

The basic principle of Vedic civilization is to create good children. All the rules and regulation, everything is there just to create good children. In the first chapter of Bhagavad-gītā these things are described very nicely by Arjuna. There are many purificatory processes to create a good child. A human being is not meant for creating offspring like cats and dogs. They must produce very good child. That is Vedic civilization. Good child means Kṛṣṇa conscious child. That's all. Yes.

So we are trying to turn these children of the Western world, good children. And people should cooperate with us, this movement. They are taking care of the children, especially young boys and girls they are coming, and we are taking care of them very nicely. Sometimes we are getting them married also, to make their life very peaceful and intelligent and spiritually advanced, and make a solution of life. So people should come forward to cooperate with this movement.

(pause) How many children you have got?

Woman: Two boys.

Prabhupāda: Two?

Woman: And other one.

Prabhupāda: Other. He is eldest?

Woman: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Where is that boy?

Woman: Ah. The other one is in Canada.

Prabhupāda: Canada? In Vancouver? No.

Devotee: No. In Calgary.

Prabhupāda: So is there any other process in making solution. Hayagrīva? You are biased.

Hayagrīva: Yes. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: You suggest that, "Here is another solution. Why we should take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness?" No. There is no other. You have got any suggestion, any other method? No. Then why don't you take to it and preach? What is the difficulty? You don't like to take it?

Maṇḍalībhadra your friend he doesn't like? Ask him. If it is good you must take it. That is intelligence. Should not reject anything good especially Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Woman: (laughter)

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is the instruction of Rūpa Gosvāmī.

:kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā-matiḥ

Very nice verse. He instructs that, "If you can purchase Kṛṣṇa consciousness from any market, any store, please immediately buy it." Then next question is, "Then what is the price? What shall I have to pay for it?" And Rūpa Gosvāmī says: "Oh, the price is simply eagerness." Tatra laulyam. "Yes, I must have Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is the price, that's all.

But that Laulyam, that eagerness, is not achieved even after many, many births. That is the price. Therefore it requires a little intelligence. "Oh, such a valuable thing? I can purchase only by eagerness? Why not become eager immediately?" That is intelligence.
