Prabhupāda: In general, sannyāsī may live alone. But sannyāsī's duty is to preach.
Sudāmā: That I don't ever want to stop.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Sudāmā: I don't ever want to stop preaching.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Well, preaching, you cannot manufacture preaching. You must do preaching according to the principles ordered by your spiritual master. You cannot manufacture your own way of preaching. That is required. There must be some leader. Under the leadership. Yasya prasādād bhagavat . . . (Śrī Śrī Gurv-aṣṭaka).
Why it is said? Everywhere, in the office, there is some immediate boss. So you have to please him. That is service. Suppose in office, in a department there is office superintendent. And if you do in your own way, "Yes, I'm doing my business," and the office superintendent is not pleased, do you think that kind of service is nice? No.
Similarly, we have got . . . everywhere we have got immediate boss. So we must work. That is systematic. If everyone manufactures, invents his own way of life, then there must be chaos.
Sudāmā: Yeah, that's true.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Now we are world organization. There is spiritual side, and there is material side also. That is not material side. That is also spiritual side, means systematic management. Otherwise how it will be done? Just like Gaurasundara sold the house, and there is no trace of the money. What is this? He did not ask him, anyone. He sold the house, and where is the money there is no trace. (break)

Devotee: It's not a badge. It's the only sweater I . . .
Prabhupāda: Oh, that's nice. Yesterday I received one letter from Rūpānuga Mahārāja. He's preaching very nice. Yes.
Hṛdayānanda: Rūpānuga?

Umāpati: There have been a couple of people here in Los Angeles . . .
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Umāpati: . . . that have wanted to meet you. A councilman, a councilman here in Los Angeles would like to meet you, a city councilman.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Oh, yes. He's welcome.
Umāpati: So, and, and, um, also a Professor Scharfe at the UCLA, he's . . .

Umāpati: Professor Scharfe. He's a Sanskrit scholar of the Vedic, Vedic . . .
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Scharfer?
Umāpati: Scharfe. Scharfe.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: It's not Scharfer?
Devotee: Scharfe, spelled S-c-h-a-r-f-e.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes, I've met him.
Umāpati: Yes. He would like very much to meet with you.
Prabhupāda: All right. Make appointment. What, what is his purpose to meet me?
Umāpati: Well, Professor Scharfe is interested in your writings, and I don't know the councilman's motives. He just sent word to me that he would like to meet with you.
Prabhupāda: We welcome any respectable gentleman. We have to go this way?
Karandhara: Um, up here, Prabhupāda. We can go this way, through here.

Hṛdayānanda: The scientists will never give up.
Prabhupāda: They are trying.
Hṛdayānanda: They are like Jarāsandha. They come back every day on your walk.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, we have any specific reference for acintya in the Vedic reference?
Prabhupāda: Acintya, acintya, yes. Acintya. Acintya potency . . . even you have got acintya potency. That I have already explained. Because we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, therefore there is pinch of acintya, inconceivable potency, in us also. Harer nāma harer nāma harer nāma . . . (CC Adi 17.21).
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Do we have any specific reference?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Jīva Gosvāmī. Jīva Gosvāmī has stated that unless we accept acintya, inconceivable energy, there is no conception of God. There is no conception of God. If you bring God to your conception, he's not God.
