In the park (…prohibited?)?

Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Yes, it is written there.
Morning Walk -- July 18, 1976, New York:

Prabhupāda: (break) ...prohibited?

Hari-śauri: In the park?

Prabhupāda: Yes, it is written there.

Hari-śauri: Because they don't want the park full of drunks.

Rāmeśvara: The children, they don't want them soliciting children or the children to drink anything. It's to protect the children.

Prabhupāda: That means it is bad.

Devotee: Yes.

Rāmeśvara: They know it is bad, but they say that everyone has to make his own choice.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They know it is bad, but they like it.

Prabhupāda: Will these parents like that the children may have liberty to follow a dark path? Will the father like?

Rāmeśvara: No.

Prabhupāda: Then why the government doesn't...?

Hari-śauri: They're making too much revenue to stop selling it.

Prabhupāda: That is not good government.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The parents are bad also.

Rāmeśvara: They put an age limit on it. They say you can only buy liquor when you have reached a certain age.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They want the children to be good, but the parents are bad.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They want the children to be good, but the parents are all bad.

Rāmeśvara: I think you have to be eighteen years old.

Prabhupāda: Then you become bad.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Before you become bad. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: Very good philosophy. Eighteen years, you become bad.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: All their culture of goodness is wasted.
