Interviewer: It was good to catch you this time and I hope to see you again.
Prabhupāda: So kindly put the matter properly because people misunderstand on account of their ignorance they misunderstand our, movement.
Interviewer: What are their main misunderstandings?
Prabhupāda: This bodily concept. They are thinking that they are body. "I am Muhammadan, I am Christian, I am American, I am
Eastern, I am Western," all bodily conceptions.
Interviewer: You mean about the Eastern and Western?
Prabhupāda: Eastern, Western, that is also bodily conception. Why they are thinking Eastern, Western? Everyone is human being.
Interviewer: Well, what is it that they particularly understand, misunderstand about the movement?
Prabhupāda: They do not understand that we are talking on the spiritual platform and they are on the material bodily platform. Therefore they find contradiction. One has to be little sober to understand this movement and what platform we are speaking. They are accustomed, on the same example, hammering the bricks. And when they see others, they are not hammering the bricks, they think they are different. They cannot understand that life can be without hammering the bricks. Karmīs. In the Bhagavad-gītā, the word mūḍha, that has been explained by Viśvanātha Cakravartī, karmīs, these mūḍhas. They cannot understand.
Interviewer: I'm going to have to go back and hammer a few bricks. (laughter) It's been a pleasure, thank you very much, for your time.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Give him prasāda. Thank you very much.
Interviewer: Thank you again, I hope to see you again sometime.
Prabhupāda: Jaya.
Interviewer: Good day. (end)
