<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They think we're funny; we think they are funny.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (break) ...difference between animal and man. Therefore if one is not spiritually advanced or has no spiritual sense, he's animal. He is not human being. Sa eva go-kharaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). The verdict is already there. Sa eva go-kharaḥ. He is nothing, no better than the cows and asses.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): Often the devotee thinks that he's more unhappy than the karmīs because he knows he's unhappy.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then that means he is not a devotee.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): He's not a devotee.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. He's not devotee. Devotee means the first sign will be happy, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā ([[Vanisource:BG 18.54|BG 18.54]]). If he's not prasannātmā, he's a rascal. He has not entered even devotional life. He's outside. That is the test. Just like Dhruva Mahārāja. When he saw Viṣṇu, he said, "Everything is all right. I don't want anything." Svāmin kṛtārtho 'smi. That is Vaiṣṇava. And if he is still in want or unhappiness, that means he has no spiritual life at all. He is simply making a show.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: Our unhappiness is our lamentation for our past sinful activity, and because we're not committing any more...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is another. That is another. That is to remember the terrible condition of karmīs. (break—in car) ...devotee who thinks unhappy because he is thinking, "I am not getting tea. I am not getting cigarette. There is restriction of illicit life, no meat-eating..." In this way he is unhappy.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: He cannot gratify his desire.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Real devotee will think, "Oh, so many botheration I have now given up." Anarthopaśamaṁ sākṣād bhakti-yogam adhokṣaje ([[Vanisource:SB 1.7.6|SB 1.7.6]]). Bhakti-yoga means upaśamam: "No more this, all this nonsense." That is bhakti-yoga, anartha-upaśamam, completely given up. Bhakti-yogam adhokṣaje, lokasya ajānato vidvāṁś cakre sātvata-saṁhitām. But they do not know anything. They are increasing anartha. They are to give up cigarette. No, they are manufacturing new brand of cigarette and advertising, "Please come. This cigarette is better than the other." This is going on. This is karmī life. Punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]). He has no sense that "I have smoke this cigarette and why, after another cigarette, the same thing?" But no. "I have enjoyed sex here. Why another sex?" He has no sense.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Available in every species of life also.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is ajñāna. Ajñāna-timirāndhasya. This big house, (break) ...so that you will work hard. And he used to do that. You bring money and he'll spend. And if you say, "Sir, we collected this money for this purpose." "Yes, he spent. You again collect." Somebody has paid that constructing temple, and he has spent for other purpose. Then, when the devotee will say, "Oh, what this man will say?" "That's all right. You collect again." (break) ...he'll get some money, he'll make some arrangement for doll exhibition and spend the all money.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: Are they going to start on Māyāpur building this year?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: That is beginning?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Collect and spend. Collect and spend for Kṛṣṇa, that is nice. I am therefore asking them to print books. I have got so much in the Book Fund. Print books. Let there be books stocked and no money stocked. (break) ...upaśamaṁ sākṣād bhakti-yogam adhokṣaje.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: Prabhupāda, we just got here.... Now we've just gotten one farm, two hundred acres. We're purchasing this next week. For eleven thousand dollars, two hundred acres.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Very cheap.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: And it is up north. It is just like India, very hot, and you can grow everything. Hot all year round.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So grow fruits, flowers, grains. Keep some men. It is very nice. (break) ...stones(?), they can go.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpā: Yes. They're aren't very attracted to it.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: A little over fifty dollars an acre? Very reasonable.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Very cheap. Very cheap.</p>
