Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Sixteen rounds.
Prabhupāda: But the chanting is recommended twenty-four hours.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Twenty-four hours.
Alice Coltrane: (laughs) (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: Kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ (CC Adi 17.31). Sadā means twenty-four hours.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But minimum, sixteen rounds.
Prabhupāda: But one who cannot, minimum, sixteen rounds.
Alice Coltrane: That only an experience (indistinct).
Prabhupāda: Otherwise Haridāsa Ṭhākura, he was chanting three hundred thousand.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Per day.
Prabhupāda: Without chanting three hundred thousand times, he won't take his food. Nāmācārya.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Haridāsa Ṭhākura.
Prabhupāda: So that is not possible for everyone, but there is no limit. Twenty-four hours you can chant, if you can.
Alice Coltrane: (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: Otherwise, minimum sixteen.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: She asked, how does she get Kṛṣṇa's instructions while chanting?
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa's instruction are there in Bhagavad-gītā. Don't you find Kṛṣṇa's instruction? Is it difficult? All instruction are clearly given there. What is the difficulty?
Alice Coltrane: (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: Yes, everything...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: She wants like personal day-to-day instructions, which she says she gets from meditation.
Prabhupāda: That you become qualified, then He'll give you. First of all be qualified to meet Him, then He'll give you. Buddhi-yogaṁ dadāmi tam. What is that verse? Find out.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ yena mām upayānti te.
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānām...
Prabhupāda: Ah! Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam, dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ tam (BG 10.10). That is... If you want to speak with a very big man, you must be qualified, not that he is your order-supplier: "Please come and give me instruction." No, can't do that. That is servant. You can ask your servant, "Please come here. Do it." You cannot ask God like that. You must please Him. Then He'll give.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And the method of pleasing Him...
Prabhupāda: Yes. Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānām (BG 10.10). One who is twenty-four hours engaged in pleasing the Lord, He gives intelligence to him, not ordinary... You cannot expect. But you don't take God as your play doll. Then it will be futile. God is God. God is great.
Rasāṅgī: So the proper instructions will come, how to act and what to do, just by chanting. There's no need to separately endeavor. Just by chanting, Kṛṣṇa will guide you how to act properly.
Prabhupāda: Everything is there in Bhagava... Bring Bhagavad-gītā.
