Prabhupāda: Yes, yes, yes. Prāpti-siddhi. Now they . . . we are flying by aeroplane. A yogī can fly without any instrument. As Durvāsā Muni, he went even Vaikuṇṭha-loka. Not Vaikuṇṭha-loka. Within this planet, there is one planet where . . . Śvetadvīpa, Lord Viṣṇu lives. He went there and saw Lord Viṣṇu personally to request him to save him. He refused, "No, I cannot. You go to Ambarīṣa Mahārāja. Beg pardon of him. If he pardons, then you will be saved." So to a devotee, innocent devotee, he had to fall down on his lotus feet, "Please save me." So what is the power of yogī? (japa)
Devotee: Is the pure devotee more merciful than Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: What is that?
Devotee: Is the pure devotee more merciful than Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Yes. Because Viṣṇu could not excuse him, but as soon as he came to Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, fell down and, "You take all my assets of pious activities. You be saved immediately." That is Vaiṣṇava. When he begged, humble, "Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, you save me. I am in danger," "Yes, you take all my pious activities' result. You be saved immediately." That is devotee. Viṣṇu refused, "No, I cannot give you protection." Therefore he is more merciful, although he was attacked, he was harassed. Just like Arjuna. Arjuna was merciful, "Let them enjoy. I don't want to kill them." Kṛṣṇa said: "You must kill. You must kill. Why you are deviating from your path? You must kill."
Therefore he taught him Bhagavad-gītā, just to induce him to kill. But he was merciful, "No, they have done so much wrong to me, never mind. They are my relatives. I excuse. I don't want to fight." Yes. This is Bhagavad-gītā. You see? Arjuna is more merciful than Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa wanted to see them all killed, because they were, I mean to say, offender to the devotee. Last time Kṛṣṇa says: "Arjuna, you fight or not fight, it is already settled. They are not going back home. They will be killed here. If you like, you take the credit. That's all. It is already settled." Then Arjuna understood that, "My Lord is so persistent. (laughter) Why shall I resist Him? All right, I will do what He says."
Bali-mardana: You are more merciful than any of them, Prabhupāda. You have come to the Western countries.
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Yes, Vaiṣṇava is . . . if one man is real Vaiṣṇava. Just like see Jesus Christ. It is said that he took everyone's sin, and he was crucified. So how much merciful he is, just see. But these rascals have taken that, "Let us go on committing sinful activities, and Christ has taken contract; he will suffer, and we shall do this." Such rascals. You see. They say that, "Our Christian religion is so good that even we commit sinful acts, Christ will suffer, we shall not suffer." Just see.
Bali-mardana: I was reading yesterday in the Newsweek that now the priests, they are dating with women and having sex.
Prabhupāda: They must have, because they have no spiritual knowledge. Anyone who is not spiritually advanced, he cannot avoid the sex.
