<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on Brahma-samhita, Lecture -- Bombay, January 3, 1973|Lecture on Brahma-samhita, Lecture -- Bombay, January 3, 1973]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Indian reporter: How is that they say that in some of the mantras they are cakras and all that?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hmmh?</p>
<p>Indian reporter: Some of the mantras...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. We have nothing to do with cakra. These cakras are concerned who are in the bodily concept of life. The bhaktas, they do not accept that "I am body." The śata cakra is concerned with this body, not with the soul. Yes. So these, the yoga process is prescribed for them who are too much in con..., bodily concept of life. Otherwise, those who are spiritually advanced, they're, they do not have to practice this yoga. This, simply name, if we follow... Actually, practically, you see... You practically see that all over the world, these boys, how they're advancing simply by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. So this is fact. It is not imagination. How they're advancing, how they're becoming... Now, sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam, to make zero ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). They've made everything zero. They don't consider that Americans. Yes. They don't consider that "I am this body. I have to eat flesh, meat and wine; therefore my body will be maintained." They never think like that. This is mukti. Simply talking will not do practically. "I practice yoga and immediately my throat has become dry. Please give me cigarette. Please give me cigarette." There are so many. I have seen.</p>
<p>Indian reporter: So they are not yogis.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You will find, if you analyze, you'll find so many. They're, at least, they smoke gañjā. There are so many yogis, I have seen, they smoke gañjā. You have not seen? Gañjā-smoker yogis?</p>
<p>Indian reporter: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Indian man (2): Number of them.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Number of them. I do not know, how you have studied. So many rascals, smoking gañjā and talking of yoga.</p>
