Conversations and Morning Walks

1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

They cannot understand what is the meaning of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They are such dull-headed men. They have no brain to understand. They are coming down again. Just like the dog's tail. Know, dog's tail? They are hearing about this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The aim is the body, the dog's tail. They are hearing daily about Kṛṣṇa, but they cannot understand. It is very difficult.


Prabhupāda: For nothing. No, no, that is not possible. These are for the karmīs, bodily concept of life. If government has got so many hospitals, what is the use of opening a teeny hospital by us? Vivekananda policy—to collect money by school and hospital. So you can tell him that, "At the present moment, we are concerned about the sanction of the building and temple. So when the building is there, then we can consider, not at the present moment. We require money. We collect for this purpose. We cannot divert attention for medicine and other things."

Gopal Kṛṣṇa: Actually, I could gather that he just talked, because he also said that we should train up some devotees to do bandage and other things like that.

Prabhupāda: (laughs) No, no, this is not.

Bhāgavata: We do all the work, and he gets advertised as a great charitable doctor.

Prabhupāda: That's it.

Bhāgavata: That he has opened the clinic.

Prabhupāda: Daridra-nārāyaṇa-sevā. (laughs) We are not all these false things. Dr. Ghosh is also after daridra-nārāyaṇa-sevā. (break) We will collect medicine. Our . . . we shall pay for the expenditure. Our men will be engaged for bandaging. (laughs) Nonsense.

Bhāgavata: And the preaching stops.

Prabhupāda: Ah. They cannot understand what is the meaning of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They are such dull-headed men. They have no brain to understand. They are coming down again. Just like the dog's tail. Know, dog's tail? You may, however grease it . . . (laughs) They are hearing about this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The aim is the body, the dog's tail. They are hearing daily about Kṛṣṇa na . . . but they cannot understand. It is very difficult. These karmīs . . . Now this is because we are reading this Bhāgavatam, now gradually they dispersed. Gradually they dispersed. They are not interested. (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa. And if you talk politics and all nonsense, oh, they will gather.

yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke
sva-dhīḥ kalatrādiṣu bhauma-ijya-dhīḥ
yat-tīrtha-buddhiḥ salile na karhicij
janeṣv abhijñeṣu sa eva go-kharaḥ
(SB 10.84.13)

The go-khara class. You can say plainly that, "For the present, we are not interested. We have got many more important business than this hospitalization."
