We read so many things, history or the activities of some leader, some politician. The same thing, same energy, you apply for understanding Kṛṣṇa. Where is the difficulty? Kṛṣṇa, therefore, He manifests Himself with so many activities because you can understand Kṛṣṇa's activities.</p> | | <p>He has got some purpose; He has got some mission.

Not that he has become subjected to the prison laws and he has to come to the prison.</p> |
