Guhyam ākhyāti, expresses their mind. Pṛcchati. They explain, "This is my position. I cannot do it. How can I do it?" And the Vaiṣṇavas reply them. Then we invite them in our Love Feast. In all our centers, we have got this arrangement. We invite everyone: "Come on, take prasādam." And if somebody gives us something to eat, we also eat, provided he's not a Māyāvādī, karmī, jñānī.

So in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we practice this. As far as possible, we are giving and taking. We are . . . we have made this program, Life Membership. We are giving our books, knowledge. Whatever we have got, little knowledge, we have written in our books, we are giving them: "Take it." And they are also giving: "Take this eleven hundred rupees." So this is dadāti pratigṛhṇāti. And they also come here to inquire: "Swāmījī, your movement is very nice. What is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of that?" Guhyam ākhyāti, expresses their mind. Pṛcchati. They explain, "This is my position. I cannot do it. How can I do it?" And the Vaiṣṇavas reply them. Then we invite them in our Love Feast. In all our centers, we have got this arrangement.

We invite everyone: "Come on, take prasādam." And if somebody gives us something to eat, we also eat, provided he's not a Māyāvādī, karmī, jñānī. Otherwise, we should not take. We can . . . we cannot accept anything from these classes of men, atheist class. Then we'll be . . . saṅgāt.

(Bengali) Saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ.

If we associate with these Māyāvādī, atheist class, karmī, jñānī, yogī, then we'll infect their quality.

So if we infect the Māyāvādī quality, karmī quality, jñānī quality, yogī quality . . . I see some of the students, still they practice some yoga āsana. That quality is not yet . . . he's not yet free. But this is nonsense. This is nonsense. We should, by promise, we should not associate with any of their qualities. That is . . . asat-saṅga-tyāga-ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra, asat-eka strī-saṅgī kṛṣṇābhakta āra (CC Madhya 22.87). Asat. Asat means bad element, bad association.
