If somebody is engaged in meditation for two hours and other is engaged for twenty-four hours, then whose meditation value will be greater?.

Prabhupāda: For two hours daily, one hour morning, one afternoon.

Guest: All right.

Prabhupāda: So if one is engaged in meditation for two hours and if other is engaged for twenty-four hours, whose meditation is perfect?

Guest: Uh, I don't know.

Prabhupāda: You don't know?

Guest: The Maharishi hasn't . . .

Prabhupāda: No, don't take the Maharishi. I mean to say, if somebody is engaged in meditation for two hours and other is engaged for twenty-four hours, then whose meditation value will be greater?

Guest: Then there are two types of meditation, there's a two-hour meditation . . .

Prabhupāda: First of all you answer this.

Guest: Pardon me? I missed it.

Prabhupāda: I am just telling that a person is engaged in meditation for two hours, and another person is engaged in meditation for twenty-four hours. Whose meditation is valuable?

Guest: The twenty-four hours.

Prabhupāda: Is it not?

Guest: Are you asking me to go out and chant all day long?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Guest: Are we supposed to chant twenty-four hours?

Prabhupāda: Not only chanting. There are other engagements.

Guest: Right. That's what the Maharishi says also.

Prabhupāda: So, twenty-four hours . . . now, that meditation, what is that, what Maharishi says you do not know you say just now, that you do not know.

Guest: I don't know as well as the Maharishi knows, but I'd like to. Perhaps you can explain.

Prabhupāda: But then explain. What is that?

Guest: He says that to meditate twice a day.

Prabhupāda: That's all right. What is that meditation process?

Guest: Okay, you're given your mantra, and when you sit there and meditate, you think . . .

Prabhupāda: Do you know that mantra?

Guest: Yes, but I can't speak it.
