Room Conversation with Sanskrit Professor, other Guests and Disciples -- February 12, 1975, Mexico:

Prabhupāda: My success is always there.

Hanumān: Is always there.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like the sun is there always. It may come before your vision or not—the sun is there. But if you are fortunate, you come before the sun. Otherwise you'll remain in darkness. Sun is open to everyone. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement—Kṛṣṇa is open to everyone. But if you are fortunate, you come to this light. If you are unfortunate, you do not. That is your choice. Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66). You do it. Now it is your choice. You surrender to Kṛṣṇa or don't surrender, that is your business. We are canvassing everyone, "Take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and you'll be happy." Now it is their business to take it or not to take it. But he can come. He can ask question and then "How? Why shall I take it?" That we are ready, to convince him. That is preaching.

Hanumān: When you have come to United States, you had nothing. . .

Prabhupāda: I came to give you. Some of you have taken and some have not taken, so what can I do? I came to give you Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is my duty. My Guru Mahārāja ordered, and I came. And . . . but some of you, you have taken, and most of, they have not taken. So that is another thing. But I came to deliver you the genuine thing. That's all.

Hanumān: The way you have come is that you have come as though you've not come from a religion or nothing. You've come, and everybody fall in love with you. You preach, and as Prabhupāda, we cannot deny you are the authority because you know everything, and your . . .

Prabhupāda: Any way you take it, then you become happy. That's all. Of course, when you take it out of love . . . that is a fact. So without love, this transaction, because there is no price for it . . . all other transaction, there is exchange of price. Here there is no price. So out of love only, one can take it, not by paying any price. It is not possible. To pay the price of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not possible. Yes.

Hanumān: You cannot force anybody to say: "I am the guru. I'm the . . . (indistinct) . . . fall in love with me."

Prabhupāda: Why shall I force? What is my . . . that is not my business. I am Kṛṣṇa's servant. I simply say: "Here is good thing. You take it." Now, Kṛṣṇa also says that. He does not force. Kṛṣṇa is God. He can force, but He does not do that.
