| | Pradyumna: The temple should always have some ''prasādam'' there? |
|
| |
|
| == Conversations and Morning Walks ==
| | Prabhupāda: Temple must have. Even ordinary ''gṛhastha''. That is Vedic civilization. Not that we cook for ourself, for my husband, for my wife and children, eat it sumptuously and go to bed. No. Even ''gṛhastha'', he should be always prepared to receive guest. Yes. And even a guest comes, your enemy, you should receive him in such a nice way that he will forget that you are all enemies. |
|
| |
|
| === 1972 Conversations and Morning Walks ===
| | ''Gṛhe śatrum api prāptaṁ viśvastam akutobhayam''. This is Vedic civilization, not that "Beware of dog. Please don't enter here. You are forbidden to come here. And if you come, I shall shoot you." Sometimes they do that. This is not human civilization. It is cats' and dogs' civilization. |

| <span class="q_heading">''' I must be first of all human being. Then I shall teach others how to become human being. I must become first of all devotee. Then I shall request others to become devotee. Āpani ācari jīve śikhāilā bhakti. First behave yourself perfectly; then teach others to become perfect. That is preacher.'''</span>
| | So actually we are teaching what is human civilization. But we must be also like human being, not cats and dogs. Otherwise, how can you teach? If I am like cats and dogs, I cannot criticize others as cats and dogs. I must be first of all human being, then I shall teach others how to become human being. I must become first of all devotee; then I shall request others to become devotee. ''Āpani ācari jīve śikhāilā bhakti'' ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 1.22|CC Madhya 1.22]]). First behave yourself perfectly; then teach others to become perfect. That is preacher. |

| | So we are selling The Process of Creation, but if I do not know what is the process of creation, we do not read, if you go to sell some book, then if he goes, "What is the process of creation? You explain," and if you say: "All right, let me consult my book . . ." ''Kuto gata vedyaḥ para-hasta-gataṁ dhānam''. |
|
| |
|
| Pradyumna: The temple should always have some prasādam there?
| | ''Para-hasta-gataṁ dhānam'' means, "I have got enough wealth." "Where it is?" "It is in other hands. It is not in my possession; in others' possession." This kind of possessing wealth has no value. Similarly, when somebody asks you some question, if you say: "Let me consult my book," that knowledge has no value, "Let me consult my book." |

Similarly, when somebody asks you some question, if you say, "Let me consult my book," that knowledge has no value. "Let me consult my book." So all these books are there. You see one śloka studying, knowing. It takes one hour. So there are millions of ślokas. How much you have to study. So these things are to be noted. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement means perfection, all round perfection. Then people will much appreciate. There is no doubt about it. And we can go anywhere, everywhere, because we are pure. We are giving the right thing.</span>
