If we give indulgence to these people, then this preaching work will be hampered. Or they should be separated. Otherwise, it will be bad example, and all restrictions will be broken.
Morning Walk -- June 7, 1976, Los Angeles:
Prabhupāda: They say. Now you accept them as authority, "They say." What is they? What they are?
Rāmeśvara: Ajāmila's qualification was he thought of Kṛṣṇa at the time of death.
Prabhupāda: Yes. But you cannot think.
Rāmeśvara: They want to think of the gopīs at the time of death.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Then practice.
Prabhupāda: What they will think of at the death, why you are conjecturing now? Their habits are rascal, they're making pregnant, illicit sex, what they will think? Anyway, if we give indulgence to these people, then this preaching work will be hampered.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, we're not going to do that.
Prabhupāda: Or they should be separated. Otherwise, it will be bad example, and all restrictions will be broken.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: If they don't change their mentality, then they should live separately, do their own society.
Prabhupāda: And they'll do that. (japa) That sahajiyā tendency is very easy to take up.
Hari-śauri: It seems like it's an inherent thing in...
Prabhupāda: Thinking of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa līlā, that is in liberated stage, not in the conditioned stage.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I could never understand, Śrīla Prabhupāda, why, I was always wondering why in all of your books you're always blasting so much time on the sahajiyās, and I was not.... Now I see why, because the tendency is so easy. I could never, I'd always think, "Why is Prabhupāda saying so much? Because they're only in India."
Rāmeśvara: He's thinking that this is a small group.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, in India, but now I see it's an easy mentality for anyone's mind that can be adopted. That's why Prabhupāda was stressing.
Rāmeśvara: And as our movement gets more and more members, there will be more and more people who will be exhibiting this sahajiyā tendency.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's why it's in every book Prabhupāda speaks about it without fail.
Prabhupāda: Anyway, keep your movement very pure. You don't mind if somebody goes away. Don't mind. But we must keep our principles pure.
