1969 Conversations and Morning Walks

Yes. Māyā is always striking. Why do you take only a window? Why do you compact māyā in the window? He is without window, within the window.
Room Conversation -- April 11, 1969, New York:

Advaita: Swamiji, last night our window was broken. Was that māyā striking at us?

Prabhupāda: Hm?

Advaita: Last night my window was broken. Was that māyā striking?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Advaita: Kids broke the window?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Māyā is always striking. Why do you take only a window? Why do you compact māyā in the window? He is without window, within the window. Māyā is not only, I mean to say, limited to a certain extent. The whole world is māyā. Jagan mithyā. The whole universe is māyā. Only that part is not māyā where the chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa is there.

Devotees: Haribol. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: As soon as there was some slacking in Hare Kṛṣṇa the māyā struck. (laughs) Yes. Yes.
