Prabhupāda: Saccidānanda said they are purchasing vegetables, fruits-125—but you have increased, 190. Why?
Dhanañjaya: The devotees' prasāda? Devotees' bhoga?
Prabhupāda: Devotees or... Daily they were purchasing 125. But you said, "No, it must be more," and the banana is rotting. Why do you purchase more?
Dhanañjaya: No, I allotted five rupees per person.
Prabhupāda: Therefore it must be spent.
Dhanañjaya: No, not it must be spent.
Prabhupāda: Then? Because five rupees allotted, then it must be spent. Never mind the fruits are rotten. What is this intelligence? To save money or to squander it, that is your policy.
Dhanañjaya: So when you told Smara-hari to purchase in quantity, the first thing he purchased was bananas.
Prabhupāda: Because he is monkey, he wants banana, very nice.
Smara-hari: You see, Prabhupāda, yesterday we fasted in the morning and because it was ekādaśī there were extra bananas bought for yesterday morning, and they weren't used, so there are some left over. So this is why...
Prabhupāda: Why some left over?
Smara-hari: Because they weren't used yesterday morning.
Prabhupāda: They weren't, but why it is left over?
Smara-hari: They were saved for this morning to save money, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Rather than eat a lot of bananas yesterday afternoon, they were saved for this morning.
Prabhupāda: When it is required, you can purchase. But I understand that you purchase more and it is left over. Don't squander money. Atyāhāraḥ prayāsaṣ ca prajalpo niya... (NOI 2). Atyāhāra—to eat more, to collect more, they are against bhakti principle. And why they are going twice in the market?
Dhanañjaya: Because sometimes Daivī-śakti, she does not give her list.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. Does not give list—then don't bring. Everyone must supply list in the evening and once it should... (aside) Jaya. It is not that Daivī-śakti gives one list—you have to go. What is this? Everything purchased in the morning, that's all. And rice, dahl, attar, ghee, for fifteen days. Only the raw fruits and vegetables should be purchased every morning. That's all.
Dhanañjaya: So Viśvambhara is going this morning to grain merchants to arrange.
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Dhanañjaya: Viśvambhara is going to arrange that today, to purchase for fifteen days.
Prabhupāda: Any shopkeeper will supply fifteen days. He will bring at your home and your pay him, forthrightly? (indistinct)
