| Dr. Crossley: I think one of the things that Peter is saying, though, that I haven't really heard you address is that... He's not saying that he doesn't believe. He's saying that he has the same experiences as all the young people here, but he doesn't dress this way, he doesn't chant, he doesn't choose to call this praise to Kṛṣṇa; he chooses to call it something else. How is it essentially different? He's saying it's essentially the same. | | Dr. Crossley: I think one of the things that Peter is saying, though, that I haven't really heard you address is that . . . he's not saying that he doesn't believe.

| Prabhupāda: That he can say also, that he does not dress like him, that's all. Not different. Difference is that... We are all differently dressed. It is not that every one of us who is sitting down not differently dressed. But we are not talking of the dress. We are talking ourselves. When I talk with you, you talk with me, you are not concerning about my dress or I am concerning your dress; I am talking with you as gentleman, that's all. What is the impediment of the dress? Anyone can dress as he likes. But he is a gentleman; you are a gentleman. Talk like a gentleman, that's all. | | Prabhupāda: That he can say also, that he does not dress like him, that's all.

| Prabhupāda: Yes, we are already. Just find out anyone who is equally dressed with you. Find out anyone. You are differently dressed from me, from them. And if you criticize my dress, I criticize your dress, that's all. Then you go on criticizing dress, where is the talk between gentlemen? That is our disease, that we are concerned with the dress, this body, not the person who has the dress. That is our disease. | | Prabhupāda: Yes, we are already.
