Journalist (2): I don't dispute that they are, but you said that they are . . .
Prabhupāda: I am saying we'll give you all information of God.
Journalist (2): Yes. I'm not suggesting that they're not happy, nor that your followers aren't convinced that you're right.
Prabhupāda: So you can become also happy, you can know also God—provided you take. If you don't take, how can I help?
Journalist (2): What I'm suggesting is, I mean trying to suggest is that for a large number of people . . .
Prabhupāda: Well, large number . . . large number . . . when, when you speak of something good, you cannot expect many. Just like if you want to sell diamond, you cannot expect that the whole population of England will purchase it. When there is question of diamond, the customer also must be very rich.
Similarly, to understand God is not so difficult or . . . easy job. Only the fortunate, pious, nice people can understand God. Not ordinary.
Journalist (2): And only get to work at it, find the time to try it . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: But we are giving facilities to everyone to understand God. That is our mission.
(knock on door)
Journalist (2): But it does require a certain price for them to pay as individuals.
Prabhupāda: No price. Simply to become sincere.
Journalist (2): To sincerely try to find Him.
Prabhupāda: Yes. If you are sincerely anxious to know God, there is no difficulty. There is no difficulty. Tatra laulyam eka-mūlyam. One must be very much anxious that, "I must know God." Then God is revealed.
There is no question of paying so much money. Our transaction in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, there is no monetary transaction. I did not pay anything to them, neither they are paying to me. It is a question of understanding.
Journalist (2): Yes. I'm only suggesting that you were saying already that only people who were kind or gentle perhaps would find it easy to start. There are obviously, as you were saying, lots of people who are not so kind or gentle, and presumably would find it more difficult.
