My manager supplied morphia preparation to an unlicensed doctor, medical practitioner. In India there are many so-called medical practitioners. They are compounders, and after . . . because there is scarcity of medical man. So there was one compounder. Some way or other, he took supply of morphia preparation from my manager. But the license was in my name. I am the proprietor. So I was called by the magistrate.
So he asked my explanation, "Why you have done this?" So I gave my explanation that, "I am, of course, I am proprietor. The license is my name. But actually the business is done by my assistants, manager. So they have done it. In future I shall be strict. There will be no such mistake." So I was excused. But that does not mean that (chuckles) I shall again do that and again ask excuse. Because I confess, that does not mean . . . I'll never be excused. It is a common sense.
So persons who are trying to commit sinful activities on the strength of some spiritual activity, they're the greatest sinners. Nāmno balād yasya hi pāpa-buddhiḥ. That is not allowed. You can neutralize your sinful activities by some spiritual a . . . but that does not mean . . . this is called hasti-snāna. That is also explained. Hasti-snāna. Hasti-snāna means bathing of the elephant. The elephant goes into the reservoir of water, takes bath very nicely, and as soon as come on the land, again takes some dust and throws over the body. Immediately. You see?
