Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

You are very intelligent, young, and therefore I am trying to give you some idea, and if you can give some shape to these ideas . . . it is already there. It is no secret. Simply we must be serious that this institution must be there for educating the whole human society. Never mind a very small number. It doesn't matter. But ideal must be there.

Prabhupāda: Now, if this is fact, tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ and na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre (BG 2.20), what we are doing for that? This is Bhagavad-gītā. Na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācin na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre. So when my body is destroyed, I am going . . . (break) . . . personally going from door to door, selling the books and sending money. We are pushing on our mission in that way. I am not getting any help either from the government, from the public. And the record is there in the Bank of America, how much foreign exchange I am bringing. Even in this feeble health also, I am working four hours at least, at night. And they are also helping me. So this is our individual attempt. Why not come here? If you are actually very serious student of Bhagavad-gītā, why don't you come, cooperate? And harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā manorathenāsati dhāvato . . . (SB 5.18.12). You cannot make public honest simply by legislation. That is not possible. Forget it.

Mr. Rajda: That cannot be done.

Prabhupāda: That is not possible. Harāv abhaktasya kuto . . . yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā sarvair . . . (SB 5.18.12). If you . . . if one becomes devotee of the Lord, all good qualities will be there. And harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad . . . if he's not a devotee . . . now so many things, condemnation, is going on, big, big leaders. Today's paper I have seen. This man, that man, is rejected even. Why? Harāv abhaktasya kuto. What is the benefit of becoming a big leader if he's not a devotee? (Hindi) You are very intelligent, young, and therefore I am trying to give you some idea, and if you can give some shape to these ideas . . . it is already there. It is no secret. Simply we must be serious that this institution must be there for educating the whole human society. Never mind a very small number. It doesn't matter. But ideal must be there.
