Morning Walk -- June 7, 1976, Los Angeles:

Hari-śauri: To bring coals to Newcastle.

Prabhupāda: Yes, like that. Why should you bring your material ideas to the spiritual world? There is no relativity. Everything absolute.

Rāmeśvara: There is no day or night. Everything is self-illuminating.

Prabhupāda: There is, but there is no need.


Prabhupāda: What is this penguin? No? Penguin?

Hari-śauri: It's a coffee shop.

Prabhupāda: Literature?

Rāmeśvara: It's a bird found in the South Pole, penguin. Lives in the south, bottom of the earth.

(BG 7.3)
