Prabhupāda: The principle should be that you should not leave remnants of food. As soon as it is used, it should not be used more. (break) Otherwise it is not possible to give up. Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate (BG 2.59). I am eating something not very superior, but if I get the chance of eating something superior, then I give up this inferior. So there is no question of making it vacant or void. To fill up the place with better things. So when you think of Kṛṣṇa, then you forget māyā. Otherwise you are entrapped with māyā. Why Kṛṣṇa says, man-manā bhava mad-bhakto? Mām eva ye prapadyante (BG 7.14). This is wanted. As soon as you become anyābhilāṣī, then it becomes difficult. Where is that knife? Give me one am root. Cut into pieces and get . . .
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I think these are from the local . . . growing here.
Prabhupāda: That we should be very careful, that we should think of Kṛṣṇa only, not of māyā, in everything. No more strength. Satataṁ kīrtayanto mām (BG 9.14). Avismṛti-kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ kṣinoty abhadrāṇi. We are in the abhadra, māyā. But avismṛti-kṛṣṇa-padaravindayoḥ kṣiṇoti. The thinking of māyā will gradually finish. Avismṛiti-kṛṣṇa-padaravindayoḥ kṣiṇoti . . . no, no, I said that you give these pieces, little, little. I'll do it myself. These pieces, this am root, yes.
Hari-śauri: This. I'll give it out.
Prabhupāda: So no vismṛti. Avismṛti. Vismṛti is ignorance. Avismṛti.

All right.
