Conversations and Morning Walks

1969 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: He can come. He stay for some time and go, in that way. That . . . when he comes here, you take his advice, what to do, and then you execute in that way. The final is yourself, whatever you do. He will come and . . . now, for developing this center we must require so many things. So he can do the outside work. Hayagrīva: Well, I mean, I don't care that much. If you want to put him in charge . . . Prabhupāda: That is . . . no. So far, if you ask my advice, he should do that work, outside propaganda, preaching. But as you say that his presence is required, therefore I say he may remain here. Otherwise, to remain here is not his duty as a sannyāsī. That is actually your duty, to organize the local management and everything.

Prabhupāda: A sannyāsī should not have a permanent place. Anywhere he goes, temporary. So because you think that his service is required, then he should remain here.

Otherwise, as he has accepted sannyāsa order, he should travel, go and preach. And especially nowadays, I cannot go everywhere; he can go, and he can recruit members. He can make propaganda of New Vrindaban to many persons, to the, I mean to say, foundations. As I have suggested, make pamphlet. So he can do outside work very nicely for developing Vrindaban.

Hayagrīva: How much of his time do you think should be spent doing this?

Prabhupāda: Which one?

Hayagrīva: Preaching and traveling.

Prabhupāda: He should always preach and travel. Always. There is immense field here. He should convince people that we are developing such a center. And you make a nice literature, picture. You go. He is educated. He is intelligent. He has studied our philosophy. He can go and speak.

Hayagrīva: But he shouldn't stay here at all?

Prabhupāda: No. He can come. He stay for some time and go, in that way. That . . . when he comes here, you take his advice, what to do, and then you execute in that way. The final is yourself, whatever you do. He will come and . . . now, for developing this center we must require so many things. So he can do the outside work.

Hayagrīva: Well, I mean, I don't care that much. If you want to put him in charge . . .

Prabhupāda: That is . . . no. So far, if you ask my advice, he should do that work, outside propaganda, preaching. But as you say that his presence is required, therefore I say he may remain here. Otherwise, to remain here is not his duty as a sannyāsī. That is actually your duty, to organize the local management and everything.

And his duty is outside work, preaching. He may have one assistant, and he can travel. He can educate your countrymen that, "Here is a nice thing we are developing. Please come and cooperate." Invite him, and when he comes, you receive him and give him good reception. In this way you have to make propaganda, outside and inside.
