Devotee 3: (break) ...in the material world.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Devotee 3: Is there any real happiness?
Prabhupāda: That is material world, no happiness.
Devotee 4: Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is the advantage of going to India, to Vṛndāvana?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Devotee 4: What is the advantage of going...
Prabhupāda: To get impetus to go back to home, back to Godhead. To come to Australia we get impetus to go to hell. (laughter) (break) Hell means anywhere where material happiness is given more importance. Mahat-sevāṁ dvā r a m āhur vimuktes tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi... In the western countries and..., they are simply busy in sense gratification. So that is the way of hell. (break)
Devotee 5: ...said that "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God."
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Devotee 5: You have said, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God." Well, um, what I want to know is, is not God eternal, therefore how was there a beginning? And if the beginning was the word, who was it spoken by or how was it spoken if it was the beginning?
Prabhupāda: Hmm? In the beginning there was word. So what is the difficulty to understand?
Devotee 1:. He's saying if everything is eternal, then how was there a beginning?
Prabhupāda: Beginning of this material world. This material world has beginning and end. Just like this material season, it has beginning and end. Hm. This is troublesome.
