Prabhupāda: Yes. You get material profit. (break) Bhagavad-gītā it is said, alpavat tu phalaṁ teṣām: "The result of material profit is for a short duration of time," tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām (BG 7.23), "and these things are desired by less-intelligent class of men." His real need is how to gain his spiritual life. That is his real need. But he does not want that. He wants some material profit for the time being. This is less intelligent. Suppose if somebody gives you some money and he says, "Tomorrow I shall take it away," will you... (laughs) So, tad bhavaty alpa-medhasā. (break) ...kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ yajanty anya-devatāḥ (BG 7.20): "They worship demigods, bewildered by lusty desires." And so long we have got lusty desires, we have to change our body, and that we do not know, what kind of body we are going to get next birth. Therefore, without knowing this, if we become mad after material profit, then less intelligent.
Indian man (1): Yogendra, you wanted to ask Swāmījī a question?
Indian man (2): Yes. If we become completely Kṛṣṇa conscious...
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Indian man (2): If we follow the Kṛṣṇa conscious path... Now, take for example our wedding ceremonies. Now, the first thing that we take, the Gaṇapati, there is Ganasyainava(?), and various other deities that we have to respect. Now, what happens in his case?
Prabhupāda: If you are actually Kṛṣṇa conscious, then to worship Gaṇapati, there is no harm. But if you take Gaṇapati as independent God, then your Kṛṣṇa consciousness is hampered.
Indian man (2): But in certain ceremonies these things are...
Prabhupāda: Any ceremony. If you know the constable is constable and the president is president, then it is all right. But if you think constable is president, then you are misguided.

Indian man (3): ...this country, what do you think is the best way of establishing the āśrama, or the centers, and which way we can help in this matter?

Indian man (3): Yes, I have been to India.
