What is sādhu? Sādhu is not with a tilaka and in a secluded place chanting and not coming out and very . . . imitating Haridāsa Ṭhākura. And as soon as the throat is dry, "Oh, bīḍī. Give me bīḍī." You see? These imitations are going on. You see? Showing just like Haridāsa Ṭhākura, but chanting, chanting, the throat becomes dry, and immediately assistance of cigarette or bīḍī is required, or a gāñjā, (laughter) still more.

the conclusion is the same thing as we repeat several times—without being Kṛṣṇa conscious, nobody can be a good man. That's all. We should not hate that, "Oh, he's not a good man—therefore we have to hate." No. That is not our business. No. But this is the conclusion. And because the world is full of no good men, therefore we have to preach.

So we cannot hate, even he's not a good man. But this is a fact. One who is not a Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he's not a good man. But our duty is preach. Because the world is full of no-good men, therefore we have to preach. Otherwise what is the use of preaching? Therefore we should not be envious, although a man is not good man. That is the time. Samadṛśaḥ.

Just like Gosvāmīs. Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau premāmṛtāmbho-nidhī dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau. Dhīra. Dhīra means sober, and adhīra means rascals. So dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau. They were priya, dear, both the rascals and good men, because they were distributing Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, just you saw in Benares. Not that all the men who joined the procession, they were all good men, from materialist's point of view. But this Caitanya Mahāprabhu is so kind, thousand of men joined Caitanya and they danced. Dhīrādhīra. Not that in the crowd only selected devotees were there. No. Most of them, ninety-nine percent, all nondevotees. Similarly, in your country you have seen. That Caitanya Mahāprabhu statue attracted so many people in Berkeley.

Dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His servant, they are dear both to the sober and rascals. Dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau. Because in their mind there is no such discrimination that, "Here is a rascal. I shall not talk to him," or "Here is only good man. I shall talk to him." No. Nityānanda Prabhu, He first of all selected, "Oh, here is Jagāi-Mādhāi. All right, first . . . my first business is with them," and delivered them. These are the examples. Sādhu.

What is sādhu? Sādhu is not with a tilaka and in a secluded place chanting and not coming out and very . . . imitating Haridāsa Ṭhākura. And as soon as the throat is dry, "Oh, bīḍī. Give me bīḍī." You see? These imitations are going on. You see? Showing just like Haridāsa Ṭhākura, but chanting, chanting, the throat becomes dry, and immediately assistance of cigarette or bīḍī is required, or a gāñjā, (laughter) still more.
