<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Arrival Room Conversation -- July 2, 1976, Washington, D.C.|Arrival Room Conversation -- July 2, 1976, Washington, D.C.]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Vipina: Our distributors were in the airport not long ago, and they distributed a book to a man who has just recently written a book called The Fourth Kingdom. And he stopped off to visit our temple and talk with us, because he was impressed with the devotees and the literature, and he would like to come and speak to you.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You have arranged some engagement?</p>
<p>Vipina: Yes. If it's all right with you, he'll come. He's very nice, but he has some mixed-up ideas.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everyone has mixed-up ideas because nobody is properly trained up. Some ideas they have got, inquiries they have got. But unless one comes to the right person, he cannot be enlightened. Tad vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Therefore one must approach the proper guru.</p>
<p>Rūpānuga: Everyone has accepted the wrong authority. </p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Rūpānuga: Everyone has accepted the wrong authority.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Because he's misled by sense gratification, so even he approaches a guru, if the guru cannot satisfy his senses, he doesn't like. Because he's under the subjugation of senses, he expects that guru also will satisfy his senses, then he is guru. If guru says something against his sense gratification, "Ah, he is not guru." (laughs) Guru also must be a person who can satisfy your senses. The disease is sense gratification.</p>
<p>Vipina: After he took those books home and he read them, he wrote us a letter, and he said he thought you were very intelligent man and would like to speak to you. So we'll see. Maybe he can hear.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, we are speaking something not of this world, but we are pointing out the defects of this world. "This world" means the world of sense gratification.</p>
<p>Bṛṣākapi: The karmīs, they say, "What is the matter with sense gratification?" They say they like sense gratification; it's very good.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Very good, but if you can continue it. But you rascal, you cannot continue it. "Very good, I am now president," but why you are kicked out? Huh? Now, what about the Nixon? Very good, he was president; now he's kicked out, what is his position? He doesn't think that, that "I may be kicked out from my position at any moment. So what is the value of my sense gratification?" He was gratifying his senses. As he liked, he was doing. But now he's kicked out, what he can do now? Why does he not think that? Take the, I mean, living example. Who wants to be kicked out from the presidency? But now he's kicked out. He's living also. He's not in that position. That Kruschev, he's not in that position. Why does he not think that "Any moment I'll be kicked out." And what is that enforcement that kicks out?</p>
<p>Bṛṣākapi: Why don't they think like that, Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is their foolishness.</p>
