Hari-śauri: People become very enamored by this mystic display. You were speaking about mystic power, and peo...
Prabhupāda: Four annas. (laughter) For four annas I'll have to try for four hundred years. Why mystic power? To show some jugglery—"How I can fly in the sky, I can walk on the water"—by this mystic power, they create amazement and become imitation God. Imitation God you can become, but you cannot become real God. That is not possible. That is warned. Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat (BG 7.7). That's all. Asamaurdhva: "Nobody equal to Me; nobody better than Me." So why should you waste your time to become God? You cannot become actually. So why should you waste your time? Remain servant. Then you're actually.... Get this light. No, no that, inside. You can give me little pineapple juice. Is it possible?
Hari-śauri: Right now?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Hari-śauri: Yes.

Kīrtanānanda: This morning.
Prabhupāda: And you are coming directly here?
Kīrtanānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: By plane?
Kīrtanānanda: Yes. I left New Vrindaban about nine o'clock. The plane left Pittsburgh at 11:30.
Prabhupāda: To Los Angeles.

Prabhupāda: Oh.
Kīrtanānanda: You go to Detroit from here?
Prabhupāda: Hm. That is the program.
Rāmeśvara: Satsvarūpa Mahārāja and Jayādvaita will be in Detroit also.
Prabhupāda: Ah.
Rāmeśvara: Anxiously waiting.
Prabhupāda: You have seen our Detroit, new?
Kīrtanānanda: No.
Prabhupāda: Oh, it is a great palace.
Kīrtanānanda: I have heard it is very...
Prabhupāda: It was constructed by spending six million dollars. (laughs)
Kīrtanānanda: Many years ago.
Prabhupāda: Yes, and it is nice palace, and we got it for 300,000.
Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda personally made the arrangement.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Yes. That man was asking 350,000, so, just like ordinary arrangement, ten percent down, so I made a bargain: "All right, I'll give you 300,000 cash. Accept it." So he immediately accepted. (laughs) There was no money. Then one girl contributed 150,000, and...
