Gargamuni: So we should start manufacturing.
Prabhupāda: You first of all eat mercury then. (laughter) You'll be finished. (laughs) (break) . . . no scarcity. Why should we go to imitate the rascals? We have got enough gold. Kṛṣṇa is supplying gold whenever we require. (break) . . . artha-prayojanam. Whatever you need, Kṛṣṇa will supply you, if you actually remain dependent on Kṛṣṇa. There are so many literatures of different groups, but who is selling so much—forty thousand, fifty thousand daily—unless Kṛṣṇa is helping us? In the history, no religion book have sold thirty thousand, forty thousand daily. There is no history. So why don't you see this wonderful thing? All the money that I have brought from USA, India, it is all Book Fund. Nobody has given. George has given. That is not in cash. And he gave that two lakhs. That was spent for Kṛṣṇa Book. So wherefrom the cash is coming?
Gargamuni: Sales of books. That is . . .
Prabhupāda: That's all right. Because we have got substantial sale of books, we are free to get money. And it is unbelievable that religious books are sold thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand daily. There is no history.
Gargamuni: So that is a miracle.
Prabhupāda: Is it not miracle?
Satsvarūpa: How one person can sell a hundred Bhāgavatams.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Satsvarūpa: Some of those devotees like Tripurāri, a hundred big Bhāgavatams. It's not a popular book.
Prabhupāda: It is not popular actually. For the common man it is dry subject. And I have heard that after reading one book, somebody comes to purchase. "What is this, Bhāgavata?" "We have got six." "All right, give me six volumes." He is not a devotee. Why he purchases all the six volumes of Bhāgavatam? In London our Bhagavad-gītā As It Is was sold in two months, thirty thousand copies. That is reports. Thirty thousand copies.
Yadubara: Even though they don't understand the subject matter, they purchase.
