Devotee: Is there some order of priority in service then? I mean, sixteen rounds is more important than anything else. And then following that, there's something else.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. If you cannot do anything else, you simply chant sixteen rounds, take prasādam, and sleep. (laughter) It is special prerogative for you. There is no then. This is, this is order for you.
Devotee: In a situation where there's a choice between say chanting and reading. Is chanting a better activity than reading?
Prabhupāda: Yes, chanting and reading is the same thing.
Devotee: But is one better than the other?
Prabhupāda: No better. That I explained. It is absolute. Either you chant or read, the same thing. But you have to fulfill the sixteen rounds. That's it.
