All failure. And now it is chaos. That Guljaya Nanda you know? He was one of the prominent member of the Planning Commission. He was very important member in the central government, Home Member, Planning Commission, President and so on, so on. Nowadays he is loitering on the street, coming to me to talk as ordinary man.

Prabhupāda: Āpani ācari prabhu jīvera śikṣāya. That is the way. (child chanting in background) Just see how he's chanting, this boy, his son. He's chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is not joke. (all chant japa) (break) . . . but we have left that building, we have come here. And this is costlier? Nature's way of . . . in the room, to make us comfortable you have to run on the fan. Here we are, don't require any fan. So where is the advantage?

Hari-śauri: Well, if it rains, then we'll go back inside.

Prabhupāda: And if your electricity fails, you'll go to hell. (laughter) This is no argument. That is obstinate rascal's argument. That one, they were eating yogurt. Everyone said, "Oh, very first class, nice yogurt." Everyone was saying. So there was the obstinate rascal, he has to find out some fault. He said: "Yes, it is very nice, but if we keep it three days it will be bad." (laughter) He's not thinking of the present, but he has to criticize it, that if you keep it three days it will become bad. That is all right, but what you are tasting now, talk of that. When there will be rain, you'll have to go in the room—this is no argument. This is obstinate rascaldom.

Hari-śauri: But you're always saying . . .

Prabhupāda: We're talking of this. If accident and this and that, then in everywhere that will . . . that I've already replied, if there is electricity failure, then it is . . .

Hari-śauri: But we have to plan for the future.

Prabhupāda: Future you cannot plan. That is the foolishness. That is another obstinate rascaldom. Future is not in your hand. You cannot plan. That is going on. They are planning so many things for future, but it is being baffled. So many schemes, so many there are. Our . . . in India there is a planning commission, after independence. So whatever they did, all failure.

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Exactly here.

Prabhupāda: All failure. And now it is chaos. That Guljaya Nanda you know? He was one of the prominent member of the Planning Commission. He was very important member in the central government, Home Member, Planning Commission, President and so on, so on. Nowadays he is loitering on the street, coming to me to talk as ordinary man. You have seen? You were giving me massage on the roof and he was sitting?

Hari-śauri: Yes. He's just trying to make some name and fame now by becoming a pious man.

Prabhupāda: So he's coming to me. He was very big man. Home Member Ran Nitola(?) was president.

Hari-śauri: He was prime minister for about ten days.

Prabhupāda: Yes, for a few days. He was a very prominent member in the cabinet, and now see. So planning, you make so many plans, but it requires sanction. That planning is condemned by Prahlāda Mahārāja. Bālasya neha śaraṇaṁ pitarau nṛsiṁha nārtasya cāgadam udanvati majjato nauḥ (SB 7.9.19). In this way, there is a verse, that we are planning, that every parent is planning how his child will be grown nice, educated. But it becomes different. Every father, mother plan that, "My child should be like this." But he is becoming hippie. When there is somebody diseased, rich man, he is planning to save him—best physician, best medicine supplied—but he's dying. So what is the value of your planning? Your planning is . . . that's all right. That's your duty. But it requires the sanction of some higher authority. Otherwise useless. That is your position. You may make plan, but unless it is sanctioned by the higher authority, then it is useless. That is practically going on.
