Anyone who is truthful, who is controlling the senses, no illicit sex life . . . that is controlling senses. There are many other things. This is the most important thing. Śamo dama titikṣa. They are tolerant. To these American boys, to take up another culture, which they are not accustomed from the birth, that is tolerance.
This is tolerance. But it is not painful, but it is tolerance. I am asking the American boys, "Don't smoke. Don't take intoxication." They are accustomed to this habit from the very childhood, but they are doing this. This is tolerance.
So these are brahminical qualification—tolerance, truthful. And śauca, śauca, this śauca. Anyone who is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, he is pure, bahyābhyantaram, inside and outside. So in this way, in this age, the chance should be given. Not that when the satyakam spoke the truth of his life . . . so he was accepted. So you are being accepted as qualified brahmin, but keep your qualification. Then your life will be sublime. Keep your life. Yes.
So this is a chance given by the Pāñcarātrika system. It doesn't matter how he is born. Nobody is responsible for his birth, but everyone is responsible for his work. So you work like a brahmin, like a Vaiṣṇava, and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and chant this Gāyatrī mantra, and your life will be sublime. So don't neglect it. You are being initiated according to the order of our predecessors, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma (CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126).
We should have to preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in every village, in every town of this planet. Therefore you have come to your country. You are kindly cooperating. You also spread. I am old man. I may not live very long. Any moment I can be finished. But try. That is actually feeling. That is actually fellow feeling, that people are simply . . . anadi bahirmukha kṛṣṇa bhuli gelā (CC Madhya 20.117), they have forgotten Kṛṣṇa from time immemorial. Athaeva kṛṣṇa veda purāṇa karila. Therefore this propaganda, this literature, Vedic literature, is there to remind them. Aham eva sarva-yajñānāṁ bhokta ca prabhur eva ca (BG 9.24). Kṛṣṇa says, "I am the Lord of everything." So we have to capture Kṛṣṇa. So this is the . . . namo apavitraḥ pavitro vā sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā. This is explanation of this verse.
