1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

By talking with him, with the rascal and foolish. You tax your brain and spoil your energy, blood.


Room Conversation -- October 4, 1975, Mauritius:

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda, if Kṛṣṇa is the reservoir of pleasure, then what does He need us for?

Prabhupāda: Mmm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: If Kṛṣṇa is all blissful, then what . . . we're so, it seems, incapable of pleasing Kṛṣṇa. He's so magnanimous. What does He need us for?

Prabhupāda: He does, He does not ask for Himself. For you. If you

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: 'cause Krsna's kind.

Prabhupāda: If you come to Kṛṣṇa and enjoy with Him, that is your good. He's self-sufficient. He doesn't require.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Sometimes, Prabhu when they see your, your Bhagavad-gītā, they say: "Oh, it is too big for me to read." They don't know that the purport . . . they've never read it.

Prabhupāda: Therefore I say that bring them, let them chant and dance and take prasādam. That, everyone will hear, agree.

Harikeśa: One who does that, he is preaching? One who arranges for chanting and dancing and taking prasādam, that is as good as preaching?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Śravaṇam, kīrtanam, arcanam—anything.

Harikeśa: These festival programs are very important.

Prabhupāda: (pause) You have to spend or waste gallons of blood before you can convert a person to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is so difficult task.

Cyavana: You have to spend . . .?

Prabhupāda: Gallons of blood, waste.

Cyavana: In what way?

Prabhupāda: Mmm?

Cyavana: In what way?

Prabhupāda: By talking with him, with the rascal and foolish.

Cyavana: No, yes, yes, you can just.

Prabhupāda: Your tax your brain and spoil your energy, blood.

Harikeśa: Spend so much food.

Cyavana: So we should do that.

Prabhupāda: Unless you are not a preacher, preach. You should be prepared.

Cyavana: We have to do it. They have to do it.

Prabhupāda: Then . . . yes. They cuts, sacrifices life.

Cyavana: Yes.

Prabhupāda: What to speak of wasting blood. Wasting life . . . not sure who or what is spoken speaking . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: This is preacher. Then he is recognized by Kṛṣṇa, "He has done so much for Me."

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Krsna will give more and more energy.

Prabhupāda: He's going to die for Kṛṣṇa, and therefore he is recognized. Na ca tasmān manuṣyeṣu kaścin me priya-kṛttamaḥ (BG 18.69). You become immediately very dear to Kṛṣṇa. Your business is how to become very intimate to Kṛṣṇa. That will be served by preaching.
