Prabhupāda: Spiritual nature . . . I am actually spiritual nature, but I am now in material nature. So I have to revive my position in the spiritual nature.
Guest: When the person, by following his temporary nature, realizes he can't find satisfaction but he has to turn to spiritual nature . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes. That dissatisfaction is always there. Just like if a animal or a living entity is put into the water, the however expert swimmer he may be, it is struggle. In the water . . . that . . . because that is not his natural position. The same man, if he is taken over the water, one inch over the water, he feels relief immediately. And if he is put into the land, then he's perfectly relieved.
So therefore Lord Caitanya offers His prayer to Kṛṣṇa, ayi nanda-tanuja patitaṁ kiṅkaraṁ viṣame bhavāmbudhau (CC Antya 20.32, Śikṣāṣṭaka 5): "My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa, I am Your eternal servant. Somehow or other, I am now fallen in this ocean of nescience." Kṛpayā tava pāda-paṅkaja-sthita-dhūlī-sadṛśaṁ vicintaya: "Kindly pick me up from this ocean of nescience and fix me as one of Your dust of the lotus feet." You see?
So that should be our prayer, that . . . this Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa is also prayer. Hare means "O the energy of the Lord," and Kṛṣṇa means "O the Lord, Supreme Personality of Godhead, please take me out of this ocean of nescience and fix me up in Your eternal, transcendental service." This is the prayer.
So any other question?
(pause)
Anyway, you are maintaining this institution. Thanks to you. (chuckles) Although the assembly is not as great as the hall, (laughs) but still, you are maintaining. It is nice. So our Indian brothers, they do not participate in this meeting? No. So it is past nine. We can have saṅkīrtana for few minutes. No other question from anybody?
This is newly partitioned?
Janārdana: It's not quite finished yet. Recent. It will be much nicer . . . (indistinct) . . . is going to paint frescoes on it, so it will be all decorated with opulent frescoes.
Prabhupāda: That's all right.
Janārdana: The temple area used to be the front part.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Janārdana: The front part . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Janārdana: . . . of this area used to be the temple area.
Prabhupāda: Nice. If this . . . the only difficulty is it is upstair. That doesn't matter. Those who are interested to come, even upstairs they will come. Those who are not interested, even in the downstairs they will not come. Those who are after water, they will find out water. "Where there is a will, there is a way." But those who are not thirsty, for them . . . how many students are coming per week?
Janārdana: Many.
Prabhupāda: In each meeting?
Janārdana: Well, sometimes only initiated devotees are here, and sometimes there are three people, sometimes six. It depends.
Prabhupāda: All right.
Janārdana: But I think now that Swāmījī is here we'll have many more people coming.
Prabhupāda: You can send information that I have come. You can little make advertisement. Yes.
Janārdana: Sometimes we have . . . on Janmāṣṭamī we had about two hundred people here.
Prabhupāda: Anyway, that's nice. No, it can be utilized very nicely. The place is nice. So let us do our duty. It is . . . we have to satisfy Kṛṣṇa only. People may take advantage of it or not. It doesn't matter.
So chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.
