<div class="heading">One should be fully satisfied: "No more I want this material disease. That's all. Enough of it." That mentality required: "I don't want anything material facility." Sannyāsa means that, that "I shall live with the minimum necessities of life and simply devote..." That is sannyāsa. "I shall become a sannyāsī and enjoy all material facilities"—that is not sannyāsa.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- March 19, 1976, Mayapura|Morning Walk -- March 19, 1976, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Devotee (2): Prabhupāda, science has develop methods where they can have sense gratification and.... Just like if they get some disease they can give them some medicine, and then the disease goes away very easily. So in this way, they're actually giving more facility for more sense gratification.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So do you like to accept it, that disease? Therefore it has been condemned, prāyaścitta. Perhaps you have read it in the beginning of Sixth Canto. Prāyaścitta... Parīkṣit Mahārāja condemned, "What is the use of this Vedic prāyaścitta if it is suffering, again and again? Then what is the use?" That he has condemned. But prāyaścitta vimarśanam. Therefore the rascal should be given knowledge that "You are attacked with some disease. Very good. You are injected with some medicine. You are cured. Then again you are attacked. So why you are going in this way? Stop it." And that is knowledge. That knowledge is also not perfect, because even a man in knowledge, he knows that "If I go to prostitute, I'll be attacked with syphilitic poison, and last time I had the same trouble. I had to spend so much money." But still he'll go, because he has no knowledge. So even one has no knowledge, if he takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then he becomes detestful: "Oh..." That is the, mean, gift of bhakti.</p>

<p>That the whole world is dark, misty. So you can invent so many means. Just like they have got, what is called, crackers? In the mist? Sometimes that is blown so that warn people that "Don't come here. There is danger."</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Flares.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. So you can invent so many means of curing the danger. But as soon as the sun is there, immediately all mist is over. Similarly, we have invented so many medicines and counteractions for so many things. But if one becomes a devotee, all these troubles immediately.... That is the only one medicine. He has no more any inclination. Svāmin kṛtārtho 'smi varaṁ na yāce: ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.42|CC Madhya 22.42]]) "No more I want." And that is wanted. (break) ...asmi varaṁ na yāce. One should be fully satisfied: "No more I want this material disease. That's all. Enough of it." That mentality required: "I don't want anything material facility." Sannyāsa means that, that "I shall live with the minimum necessities of life and simply devote..." That is sannyāsa. "I shall become a sannyāsī and enjoy all material facilities"—that is not sannyāsa. (break) ...recommended that "If there is no need, don't take even cloth. Remain naked." That is sannyāsa. But because we have to preach, because we have to go the people, therefore some covering. Otherwise, this is also not necessary for a sannyāsī. Nothing. Lie down on the floor like the Śukadeva Gosvāmī said, and take water in your palm, no dress. Śukadeva was also not dressing, naked. That is the perfection of sannyāsa. (break) Where is Jayapatākā? (break) ...talk with this boy. He wanted to.... (break) ...make. He's offering a land. Did you talk with him?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: No. I sent.... Śatadhanya talked with him.</p>
<p>Śatadhanya: This man right here?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: No, a different. This boy?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Śatadhanya: Yeah, we gave him one room last night. He's staying. And prasāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's nice. Bengali (break)</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: The Gurukula teachers had one question, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: At one time, you had instructed that all the children should attend the main class. They say that some of the very small children have trouble to keep their attention...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Not small...</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: So they found that if they attend a separate...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is common sense. Also attend many child in the lap of his mother. You see? He should also...?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Yeah, they find those seven-, eight-year-old, they attend better a small, private reading.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that's nice. But one thing is that if they can attend, even by hearing the Vedic mantras they'll be benefited. Even they.... Therefore I give stress on chanting the mantra, so that if one cannot chant and can under.... Simply by hearing, he'll be benefited. (break) Hm.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: I haven't seen personally. Have you seen them outside? It was supposed to be...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So, where is the painting?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Rāmeśvara said it's ready to see.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh. Then let us go see. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. (break) Little dark is. But not bad. Yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Jadurāṇī was saying he paints dark. He usually.... His style is to paint with dark colors</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. It should be bright because...</p>
<p>Devotee (3): Effulgent.</p>
<p>Rādhāvallabha: Also, he was worried that when the sun hits it, after a certain time it will just fade away.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then we should use such color which may not fade away. The picture is all right. The picture is all right. Simply it has to be made more bright. It is India. It is not London, always foggy. (laughter) (end)</p>
