Prabhupāda: Laḍḍu, you prepare laḍḍu? They prepare so many things. The main ingredient is this: besan, āttā, ghee, sugar. That's all. (break) ...also they eat rice more.
Mahāmṣa: (break) ...left in Mysore.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But Bengal tiger.
Acyutānanda: That's.... They've all been shot.
Prabhupāda: (break) First of all understand what is meditation. Do you understand what is meditation? Do you understand?
Indian man: (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: What is meditation?
Indian man (2): Giving all thoughts.... Coming to pure silence of the mind.
Prabhupāda: So how you can be silent? Is it possible?
Indian man (2): No, just by some sādhana.
Prabhupāda: Silent is also.... (dog barking) The stones are silent. Does it mean meditation?
Indian man (2): But mind cannot be silent. The mind must be made to (indistinct).
Harikeśa: Hut!
Prabhupāda: So then how you can make silent?
Indian man (2): By seeing God in everything.
Prabhupāda: Meditation is not silence. That is wrong idea. Meditation means to think of God. That is meditation.
Indian man (2): Brahma-bhāvana.
Prabhupāda: Brahma-bhāvana is also not practical. Parabrahma-bhāvana, kṛṣṇa-bhāvana. That is Kṛṣṇa conscious.
Indian man (2): Supreme Lord.
Prabhupāda: That is real meditation. Meditation does not mean to make the mind vacant. No, a wrong. People are thinking like that. It cannot be. One girl—that is written—"Sir, meditation to make the mind out of all thoughts." So she said, she thought that "How can I be without thoughts? This 'without thought,' I'll think—that is a thought. Therefore it is bogus." He (she) threw away this meditation book.
Indian man (2): No, thinking about the God's thought, in course of time it will be empty. Mind will be empty.
Prabhupāda: So unless you come.... According to your idea, unless you come to that emptiness, you are not perfect. But that will never come.
