Prabhupāda: Yes.
- tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ
- kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye
- ceta etair anāviddhaṁ
- sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati
- (SB 1.2.19)
When the heart is cleansed of the dirty things, rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ, the modes of rajaḥ and tamaḥ, ignorance and passion, then he is situated in the sattva-guṇa. There are three guṇas. If you become released from the tamo-guṇa and rajo-guṇa, naturally you are situated in the sattva-guṇa. Sthito sattve prasīdati. Tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye, ceta etair anāviddham. When the heart is not attacked by this rajo-guṇa and tamo-guṇa, then it remains fixed up in sattva-guṇa. Then . . .
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Evaṁ prasanna-manaso?
Prabhupāda: Evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ (SB 1.2.20). Then he becomes prasanna-manasaḥ, happy mood. Then he can cultivate devotional service. Otherwise not possible. Ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthito sattve prasīdati. Unless one is situated in sattva-guṇa, there is no possibility of peacefulness. Pehle ye sikhaya jata tha ki bhagvan ki kripa se jo kuch mila hai brahman, kshatriya, vaishya, sudra, isi me santosh ho jayiye. Aajkal kya ho gaya, lao paisa. Paisa mile to ek motor kharido, aur mile to char motor kharido aur ek aurat ke liye, ek ladka ke liye dikhao aur ek din maut ata hai laat mar karke le jata hai sab pada rehta hai. (In the old days, it was taught that by God's mercy whatever we have got, brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya, sudra, to be happy with that. Today what has happened is greed for money. You get money then buy a car, more money then buy 4 cars and show off to a lady or the boy. One day death comes and kicks you out and takes away everything, nothing is left.)
Indian: Pehle santosh tha. Ye hi samajhte the jo kuch ishwar ne diya hai humko bahut diya hai isi ke hum kabil tha. (In those days there was happiness. This was the understanding that whatever God has given us, it is more than what we asked for and we are qualified for this much.)
Prabhupada: Jo bhagvan se sampark is tarah se banaye. Ye hamara vedic civilization hai. Ab wo sab to chod-chad diya kewal indriya tripti, sharab piyo, mams khao, randibaji karo. (One who makes a relationship with God. This is our vedic civilization. Now we have left all that and run after sense gratification, drink, eat non-vegetarian, and do promiscuity.) Pura nash kar diya. (Everything is destroyed.)
Indian: Par swamiji iske baavzood bhi abhi zyada tarah sankhya acche logon ki hai par wo kya hai dabi hui hai, wo isme vishwas nahi karte hain. (But Swamiji, in spite of this now most of the population are good people but they are suppressed, they don't believe in this.)
Prabhupada: Koi cheez dabi nahi reh sakti hai. Bhagavad bhakti 'ahaituky apratihata" usko koi daba nahi sakta, iccha nahi hai. Jiska iccha hai usko koi daba nahi sakta hai. Iccha hi hai wo sab nasht ho gaya hai. Aur usi ko humlog thoda jagane ka koshish karte hain. abhi dekhiye Tirupati, Tirumala ka bahut naam hai, usme sab industry laga rahe hain. Wahan jo baal katta hai usko bhi bechta hai. Bedhkarke bhagavad bhakti prachar karna chahiye, nahi electronic. (Nothing can be suppressed. Devotional service "ahaituky aprtihata" no one can suppress it, they have no desire. Those who have desires, no one can suppress them. Desires should be there, but it is lost. And we are trying to awaken that dormant love for God. Now you see in Tirupati, Tirumala is well known; they are putting industries there. Even the hair which is cut is sold, that money can be used for preaching love of Godhead, but electronic.)
Indian: Idhar bhi yehi prayas ho raha hai. Governor gopal reddy jo hain is mandir ka jo bhi hai wo banana cha rahe hain, bar-bar wo aa rahe hain aur kanoon la rahe hain, isi session me aa raha hai. Wo bhi ab isi tarah se kar rahe hain ki Tirumala ke jaisa yahan ka sab gathan ho jaye aur paise ko hum is tarah lagaye. Theek hai inka vichar accha ho sakta hai. (Here also the same effort is going on. Governor Gopal Reddy (Chenna Reddy) wants to make the temple ready, he keeps coming and is bringing out laws which are coming out in this session. He is doing it in such a way just like Tirumala, everything should function here properly and we must utilize the money. It's alright, his ideas might be good.)
Prabhupada: Vichar is liye theek hai wo dekhte hai jo mandir me sab mahant log wohii kaam karte hain, mandir me jis mahant ke pas paisa hai wohi sharab, randi me lagate hain, sab nahi to kuch. to isse accha industry me laga do. Abhi ye sab bade-bade mahant, ye bhautik maya zabardast hai to unko pakad leta hai. (The idea is good because they see that in temples the priests do the same sinful acts. Those who have money they indulge in intoxication, prostitutes—if not everyone at least . . . some of them. So it is better to invest in industries. Now all these big big priests, this material illusion is very forceful and it catches them.)
