You cannot become proud of possessing 100,000's of dollars if you cannot pay ten dollars. Do you follow? If you say: "Now I am in possession of 100,000's of dollars," and if I ask: "Give me ten dollars," "No. I haven't got." So similarly, if you actually have become transcendental servant of Kṛṣṇa, if the qualities of brāhmaṇa is lacking, then you are not perfect. The brahminical qualification must be there. Then you are falsely possessing.

If you falsely say that, "I possess 100,000 dollars," and if I ask, "Give me ten dollars," "No. I . . ." This is false prestige. So these ten dollars will not serve my purpose. I will have to acquire 100,000 dollars. That is Vaiṣṇava qualification. But when we are actually in possession of 100,000 dollars, you must be able to pay ten dollars. You cannot say: "No. I haven't got ten dollars." Then we are falsely advertising that you have got 100,000.
