Not Artificially Hare Krishna! - Prabhupada 0196

731212 - Morning Walk - Los Angeles

Prabhupāda: We are writing so many books. Unless we take care of the books and preach and read ourself, understand the philosophy, this Hare Kṛṣṇa will be finished within few years. Because there will be no life. How long one can artificially go on, ""Hare Kṛṣṇa! Haribol!"" That will be artificial. No life.

Yaśomatīnandana: That's right, Prabhupāda. We are so foolish, we never realize anything you tell us like that. Without the preaching . . .

Prabhupāda: Without preaching, without understanding philosophy, you cannot keep your strength. Everyone should be thoroughly well conversed with the philosophy which we are putting . . . that means you must read thoroughly every day. So many books we have got. And Bhāgavata is so perfect that any verse you read, you get a new enlightenment. It is so nice. Either Bhagavad-gītā or Bhāgavata. But it is not ordinary writing.
