<div class="heading">First of all, anartha-nivṛtti. You are accustomed to so many bad habits. First of all try to rectify it, then talk of svarūpa. Where is your svarūpa? Simply wasting time. A man is diseased, he's thinking, "When I shall be cured I shall eat, go to this hotel, I shall eat like this." First of all cure, then talk of eating this and that. Svarūpa, when you are cured, that is svarūpa. So long you are not cured, what is the use of talking svarūpa? First business is cure yourself. Anartha-nivṛtti, that is anartha-nivṛtti. Then svarūpa will come. That is the bābājīs. In Vṛndāvana, you have seen? Siddha-praṇālī.

Your well is also going to that side.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Have several wells in all places. That is nice. Is it very expensive?</p>
<p>Kulādri: It's expensive.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is more expensive than carrying water and consume petrol? That is laziness. Once you have a well, then you save so much trouble. Get one well in each, our house. It is here very deep, uh? To get well? Tube-well? But there are so many creeks.</p>
<p>Kulādri: We have what is called a springhouse. It's pure spring water, it's caught in reservoir.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Where is it?</p>
<p>Kulādri: At the other farm we have, as well as tube-well,</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Water must be.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda, if in the spiritual sky there is no sex life...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You can store the snow. Yes. Big, big hole and collect the snow and put it here and cover it, it will stay. Is it not?</p>
<p>Kulādri: We have so much water, though, running off the hill, we can make lakes. We have three lakes now.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then? Why don't you do it?</p>
<p>Kulādri: You saw the Rādhā-kuṇḍa in the movie, in the film.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda, when one returns to his svarūpa, his natural form, how does...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: First of all, anartha-nivṛtti. You are accustomed to so many bad habits. First of all try to rectify it, then talk of svarūpa. Where is your svarūpa? Simply wasting time. A man is diseased, he's thinking, "When I shall be cured I shall eat, go to this hotel, I shall eat like this." First of all cure, then talk of eating this and that. Svarūpa, when you are cured, that is svarūpa. So long you are not cured, what is the use of talking svarūpa? First business is cure yourself. Anartha-nivṛtti, that is anartha-nivṛtti. Then svarūpa will come. That is the bābājīs. In Vṛndāvana, you have seen? Siddha-praṇālī.</p>
<p>Pradyumna: Ah, siddha-praṇālī, siddha-deha?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are smoking and having illicit sex with one dozen women-svarūpa. Rascal. This is called sahajiyā, a rascal. Condemned. Where is your svarūpa? Don't talk unnecessarily. First of all come to svarūpa, then talk of svarūpa.</p>
<p>Devotee: So our motivation should be to get free from birth, disease, old age and death.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is already explained. But you must be determined how to execute devotional service. Without determined devotional service, how we can attain that position? So what is the use of talking utopian? First business is anartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt. Ādau śraddhā tathaḥ sādhu-saṅgo 'tha bhajana-kriyā tato anartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt. You adopt this means that you have got full faith that "Kṛṣṇa consciousness will save me." Then you live with devotees who are similarly determined. Then you execute devotional service. Then anartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt, you'll be free from all these.... These are the stages. There is.... Up to anartha-nivṛtti, you have to struggle very hard with determination, and then automatically everything will come. Tato niṣṭhā tato rucis tataḥ, athāsaktis tato bhāvaḥ. So before svarūpa, anartha-nivṛtti, don't expect all these. Read.</p>
<p>Pradyumna:</p>
:śanaiḥ śanair uparamed
:buddhyā dhṛti-gṛhītayā
:ātma-saṁsthaṁ manaḥ kṛtvā
:na kiñcid api cintayet
<p>Prabhupāda: This is practice.</p>
<p>Pradyumna: "Gradually, step by step, with full conviction, one should become situated in trance by means of intelligence, and thus the mind should be fixed on the self alone and should think of nothing else." Purport: "By proper conviction and intelligence one should gradually cease sense activities. This is called pratyāhāra. The mind, being controlled by conviction, meditation, and cessation of the senses, should be situated in trance, or samādhi. At that time there is no longer any danger of becoming engaged in the material conception of life. In other words, although one is involved with matter, as long as the material body exists, one should not think about sense gratification. One should think of no pleasure aside from the pleasure of the Supreme Self. This state is easily attained by directly practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness."</p>
<p>Kulādri: Śrīla Prabhupāda, before you said the patient has no intelligence.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Therefore he requires spiritual master's guidance. Because he is rascal. What is the use of accepting a spiritual master? If you want to be cured independently, what is the use of calling a physician, consulting a physician? You do it yourself. (pause) Whether our cows are left now? We don't find cows.</p>
<p>Kulādri: They are at Govindajī temple. They are at the, where we will build Govindajī, at the main farm, Bahulavana, for Rādhā-Vṛndāvanacandra, and some at Vṛndāvana. In Vṛndāvana they are kept free to roam around, but at our farm in Bahulavana they have to be in pastures.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Last time I saw some cows here.</p>
