Prabhupāda: We must have quality. Our Godbrothers, they publish tenth-quality papers. Nobody . . . Nobody cares.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: In Madras we are printing a big Tamil Īśopaniṣad, and one Sindhi man, he has donated eight thousand towards the cost. The total cost is eleven thousand, and he has donated about eight thousand.
Prabhupāda: In this way . . .
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: If we can get this . . . One way we can reduce our cost is by getting advertisements.
Prabhupāda: No, no.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: But that you wish not to do. You'd rather . . .
Brahmānanda: Just like this other man has agreed to subsidize the Arabic book?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: He will pay for the whole thing, not just subsidize.
Brahmānanda: So, so many can be gotten in this way. If they see the books are coming, then they will want to . . . (break)
Prabhupāda: . . . man is convinced, then our printing of books shall be success. Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu (BG 7.3).
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We will have thousands of people convinced. (break)
Prabhupāda: Ācāryopāsanam. In the Bhagavad-gītā: "One should worship ācārya." This is the beginning of spiritual life. Amānitvam adambhitvam ahiṁsā kṣāntir ārjavam ācāryopāsanam (BG 13.8). Ācāryavān puruṣo veda (Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.14.2). These are the injunction. Without taking shelter of ācārya, nobody can understand anything. (break) . . . wants prasāda, it is not given?
Akṣayānanda: Yes. Given.
Prabhupāda: Not given. (break)
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: . . . women's. They try and harass us, they try and cheat us.
Prabhupāda: Ācchā?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes. Nirnaiyika just wanted to use their scale, and they would try and cheat him. They would ask him for money just to let us use their scale to weigh the vegetables we buy. And so I intervened one day, and then he got so angry that he abused Kṛṣṇa also. These are such big demons, these people. They live in Vṛndāvana, but . . .
Prabhupāda: So give them prasāda; they will be all right. Yes. Give them prasāda.
Harikeśa: The perfect solution.
Brahmānanda: We were also demons before we took prasāda. (laughter)
Prabhupāda: Jaya. Our preaching means to turn demons into devotees. That is our preaching. If you keep them demon, then your preaching is lacking.
