Reporter (2): So that is all the more reason why your work is needed.
Prabhupāda: No, we are doing. As far as possible, we have got center. The people are so overintelligent, don't take it. "Ah, what Hare Kṛṣṇa? We have heard it. Ah, we have seen Bhagavad-gītā." That is.... If you become neglectful, that is the greatest offense. So India is offender. It is India's philosophy, what I am preaching others. India doesn't require to be known to be aware. It is.... They already know it, but they won't take it. They have become so unfortunate. That is the difficulty. If you don't take it, then how you'll become rich? Suppose if I give you—"Take this one thousand dollars"—but if you don't take it, then what benefit will be there? India's position is like that.
Reporter (6): Will you be opening certain schools in India on gurukula pattern?
Prabhupāda: Yes, we are trying, but the difficulty, India, is that they are very, very neglectful.
Reporter (6): Is the government discouraging...
Prabhupāda: There is no question of government or.... The government is people's men. So if you are, we are ourselves fools and rascals, the government will also be a set of fools and rascals. And if you are intelligent, the government will be intelligent, because now it is democracy. You select some man. So don't blame government. You are government. If you are fools the government are fools. If you are intelligent the government is intelligent. It is up to you to change; then everything will be all right.
Reporter (1): Swamiji, excuse me, is there any special significance of keeping this bead hidden from the public?
Prabhupāda: Yes, just to follow Bhagavad-gītā. Bhagavad-gītā says, man-manā bhava mad bhaktaḥ: "Always think of Me." So we are thinking, "Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa."
Reporter (1): No, I mean, you are keeping it wrapped in a piece of cloth.
Prabhupāda: That bead.
Reporter (1): Why?
Prabhupāda: The bead is pure, so just to keep it aloof from the dust.... Just like we keep this drinking water covered. Why? This is common sense.
Reporter (1): Just to keep it pure.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Pure it is, but still, it is our duty not to treat ordinarily.
Reporter (1): Are your disciples supposed to chant the mantra all the time?
Prabhupāda: Yes. All my disciple is chanting.
Reporter (1): Are they supposed to chant the mantra throughout the day?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
