Prabhupāda: What is the difference, a hippie lying on the street, and in India some patient is lying on the street? What is the difference?
Śrutakīrti: According to the person's desire, we facilitate.
Prabhupāda: No, go on, waste your time. Their philosophy is that "If they feel pleasure lying on the street, so let them lie down." That is your philosophy. Then why do you endeavor for others?
Paramahaṁsa: Well, if they feel pleasure, then we can also let them.
Prabhupāda: So it is then relative. When you. . .
Śrutakīrti: Yes. According to the person's desire.
Paramahaṁsa: We just want to see that everyone is happy, and that way we will know that we are pleasing God.
Prabhupāda: Nobody is happy. (break) Therefore in the Bhagavad-gītā it says, śītoṣṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ (BG 2.14). Now, something is happiness; the same something is distress. So what is the standard of happiness? The same something is distress for another. One man's food, another man's poison. So where is the standard of happiness? What you are thinking "This is happiness," others are thinking "This is distress."
Paramahaṁsa: That's why we have this modern philosophy that whatever makes you feel good, you should do.
Prabhupāda: No, then everyone is doing . . . (indistinct) . . ..
Śrutakīrti: In this world everything is relative, so it's not expected that the same things will please everyone.
Prabhupāda: Then why do you put something as happiness standard or distress standard? So everything is everything, that's all. (laughs) Why do you try to put a standard?
Amogha: We try to simply make the facility if a person wants to change his position.
Prabhupāda: So why you are so much busy in trying like that? Why you are waste your time? You make your own. . .
Śrutakīrti: But that is his happiness. Giving facility to others is what makes me happy.
