1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

For any intelligent man, Bhagavad-gītā is perfect instruction. There is no doubt about it. But unfortunately most men are rascals. That is the difficulty. Otherwise, there is perfect instruction. There is no doubt about it. How can I doubt? God is speaking personally.

Prabhupāda: What is that?

Ātreya Ṛṣi: This is watermelon, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: You are giving all of them?

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, it's from our garden.

Prabhupāda: Give me one piece. Give them. For any intelligent man, Bhagavad-gītā is perfect instruction. There is no doubt about it. But unfortunately most men are rascals. That is the difficulty. Otherwise, there is perfect instruction. There is no doubt about it. How can I doubt? God is speaking personally.

Jñānagamya: I met a man on the plane coming here just recently Prabhupāda, and he had translated Bhagavad-gītā into Farsi, the Persian language, and I invited him to come here, but he is not coming. He is afraid to meet you, I'm sure. And I told him . . . he was smoking cigarettes and was buying, purchasing liquor on the plane, and I said: "Why are you doing this?"

Prabhupāda: Your duty you have done, that's all.

Jñānagamya: I said, "Why are you doing this? Kṛṣṇa asks for controlled senses, but if you know Kṛṣṇa, then you would have no difficulty. You don't need these things."

Prabhupāda: In the beginning if you said, they will not hear. (all eating watermelon)

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Little salt?

Prabhupāda: No. Try to give to the people. If they are fortunate, they will take. (break)
