<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- March 16, 1974, Vrndavana|Room Conversation -- March 16, 1974, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: If you know your mistakes and you're preaching, why this nonsense preaching?</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Preaching must be perfect.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Perfect means as you have heard from your spiritual master. (indistinct) We are not perfect, none of us, but if you perfectly follow the orders of the perfect, then you are perfect. You should not think that "I have become perfect." Caitanya Mahāprabhu also said, guru more mūrkha dekhi ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 7.71|CC Adi 7.71]]). He presented Himself as fool number one. So we should always keep ourself as fool number one, that "I am not perfect. I am fool number one." But whatever I am doing I am carrying the orders of the perfect. That is my credit. I am not perfect. Suppose I give you, (indistinct), five thousand dollars. That is not my money. I am not rich man. But the money is paid by somebody else and I deliver, that's all. That is my perfection. If I don't touch it, I do not take from five hundred dollars a paise even, and I deliver it, that is my perfection. I may not be rich man, but if I deliver this amount to you, in perfect order, that is my perfection.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Sometimes, due to my conditioning, I cannot exactly understand what you are saying.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. If you cannot understand what I am saying, then you should ask repeat. Try to understand (indistinct), that "I cannot understand this, and explain." Put it to the immediate president or any Godbrother. If he still, if he cannot explain, if he feels unable, he can inquire to me. In this way.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: What if I don't know, I haven't understood? What if I think I have understood but I have actually not?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There are many things like that. So you should try to understand it fully. Why should you understand it haphazardly? You must try to understand fully. (break)</p>
<p>Harikeśa: ...position to criticize his Godbrothers, no matter what?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You can criticize, if you are right. You cannot criticize wrongly. (break)</p>
<p>Devotee: ...instructions rather than our sense gratification? (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is not right that he says that. Sense gratification is wrong. You cannot gratify your senses. You have to enjoy your senses in the service of the Lord. That is perfection. Hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). That is our only business. (break)</p>
<p>Devotee (lady): Thank you. I'm leaving. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...hot.</p>
<p>Devotee (lady): Yes. I'm just to make very hot. (break)</p>
<p>Harikeśa: ...to increase as we become more and more pure?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everyone has got that intelligence, to understand and ... (end)</p>
