Prabhupāda: Self-help, self-help.
Guest (1): They're distributing in every house, how to benefit in the house.
Dr. Patel: But if it is right for them, why not have films in every house and grow your food also? That is not possible every time on the way. You have got to have a... This is a highly developed society. So you have got to...
Prabhupāda: And because now it is developed, it is so developed that there is no food. It is so developed that there is no food. One devotee of Goddess Durgā, he was a worshiper of Goddess Durgā. So Mother Durgā was asking, "My dear son, you are happy?" "Oh Mother! In all respects. Except in two things: there is no food, there is no cloth. That's all. Otherwise I am very happy."
Guest (1): So the main thing is not that.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) So your, your advancement means advancement in everything, but there is no food, there is no cloth. That's all. This is the advancement.
Dr. Patel: When there was no rain here last year... No? Year before last. (Hindi) The men in the medical college were talking, "Why the hell do you want rain?" I said "What nonsense, you are talking?" "We don't want. Our fields are in America. The rain is falling there all right." You know, jokingly. (laughs) There is no other... "Why do you want rain here?" Because people...
Prabhupāda: No, no. Rain, rain...
Dr. Patel: Yajñād bhavati parjanyaḥ (BG 3.14).
Prabhupāda: Yes. But they won't, won't perform yajña.
Dr. Patel: No. And yajña means there is service to the humanity...
Prabhupāda: No, no, no. That is not...
Dr. Patel: "That is giving service to Kṛṣṇa," you'll say. "But humanity is Kṛṣṇa," I say.
Prabhupāda: No, no, no.
Dr. Patel: And then we quarrel! So we stop there. (laughs)
Prabhupāda: That's all.
Dr. Patel: Yajña...
Prabhupāda: Yajñārthe karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ (BG 3.9). (Hindi)
Dr. Patel: Wrong, wrong fully is not yajña.
Prabhupāda: What is wrong fully? Everyone is trying. The state is trying.
Dr. Patel: Everything is God. Ahaṁ kratur ahaṁ yajñaḥ ahaṁ ghṛtam. "Everything I am." That is Kṛṣṇa, no? And in the very next verse He says...
Prabhupāda: But when there is remembrance of Kṛṣṇa.
Dr. Patel: That is right.
Prabhupāda: Aham. That "aham" must be there.
Dr. Patel: In the name of God, you do, and you forget that you are doing. Two things, that is yajña. That you are not the performer...
Prabhupāda: Not... No, you cannot, you cannot manufacture yajña. The yajña-vidhi is there. In the Vedas, śāstras. You cannot say that "I am doing for God. That is yajña." Yajña-vidhi. Yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya vartate kāma-kārataḥ, na sukhaṁ sa avāpnoti (BG 16.23). He cannot get happiness if he derides śāstra, yajña-vidhi. You cannot manufacture yajña-vidhi.
