RC MAY 1977-02-16 The Secret of Safety
1
00:00:01,483 --> 00:00:03,184
ANNOUNCER: Next
is a conversation,
2
00:00:03,185 --> 00:00:08,628
with His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:16,127
recorded on February 16,
1977 in Māyāpura, India.
4
00:00:16,128 --> 00:00:18,458
PRABHUPĀDA: Kāma-
Kṛṣṇa-kāmārpaṇe.
5
00:00:18,459 --> 00:00:22,621
For Kṛṣṇa’s service
one should be mad.
6
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:27,664
Kāma-krodha should be given up,
but a bhakta does not give up.
7
00:00:27,665 --> 00:00:30,954
Utilize it.
8
00:00:30,955 --> 00:00:38,635
A bhakta should be very much
kamut [?] for serving Kṛṣṇa.
9
00:00:38,636 --> 00:00:47,357
And he must utilize his anger for the
bhakta-dveṣi, those who are not devotee.
10
00:00:47,358 --> 00:00:56,252
Kāma-Kṛṣṇa-kāmārpaṇe krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane.
[Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura’s Prema-bhakti-candrikā].
11
00:00:56,253 --> 00:01:01,473
We have nothing to
give up like Māyāvādī.
12
00:01:01,474 --> 00:01:07,175
Kāma, krodha, lobha,
moha, mātsarya.
13
00:01:07,176 --> 00:01:13,463
Mātsarya may… That has to be…
A bhakta cannot be envious.
14
00:01:13,464 --> 00:01:16,856
If [indistinct] is angry upon
them, that is not envious.
15
00:01:16,857 --> 00:01:22,656
That is for good.
16
00:01:22,657 --> 00:01:26,070
A bhakta should not be envious.
17
00:01:26,071 --> 00:01:27,880
Otherwise how he can preach?
18
00:01:27,881 --> 00:01:31,182
He’s merciful.
19
00:01:31,183 --> 00:01:35,381
Even if he’s angry, he’s mercyful.
20
00:01:35,382 --> 00:01:38,974
Therefore this mātsarya
has no use for bhakta.
21
00:01:38,975 --> 00:01:46,842
Other things, they have use, kāma,
krodha, lobha, moha; not mātsarya.
22
00:01:46,843 --> 00:01:48,925
Mātsarya is very, very bad.
23
00:01:48,926 --> 00:02:14,295
- SATSVARŪPA: Envy?
- Huh? Envy, yes.
24
00:02:14,296 --> 00:02:19,721
- So Panihati is hopeful, is not?
- JAYAPATĀKĀ: Yes.
25
00:02:19,722 --> 00:02:22,499
If this MLA actually pushes it
through, then in one month…
26
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:27,290
- Is that MLA that gentleman is very intelligent?
- Yes.
27
00:02:27,291 --> 00:02:28,532
Young man.
28
00:02:28,533 --> 00:02:31,332
- He’s ambitious.
- Huh?
29
00:02:31,333 --> 00:02:32,452
Ambitious.
30
00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:36,007
Ambitious for Kṛṣṇa, everyone
should be ambitious:
31
00:02:36,008 --> 00:02:38,115
“How I shall become
a great devotee?”
32
00:02:38,116 --> 00:02:45,799
Ah, that is very good. Yes.
33
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:58,282
Again finger problem.
34
00:02:58,283 --> 00:03:02,921
Our electric is not working?
35
00:03:02,922 --> 00:03:08,340
Just see; in the evening,
we… people want light.
36
00:03:08,341 --> 00:03:11,226
It works the whole day; only
in the evening it goes off.
37
00:03:11,227 --> 00:03:13,220
Whole night also.
38
00:03:13,221 --> 00:03:25,239
Only evening, when
you require it…
39
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,044
India’s material
advancement is artificial.
40
00:03:29,045 --> 00:03:36,653
They are not fit for it.
41
00:03:36,654 --> 00:03:41,051
In America, so long, no
electricity every day?
42
00:03:41,052 --> 00:03:42,250
People would become mad.
43
00:03:42,251 --> 00:03:45,852
There would [be] revolution.
44
00:03:45,853 --> 00:03:48,420
- Huh? Is it not?
- Yes.
45
00:03:48,421 --> 00:03:52,466
HARI-ŚAURI: They had a blackout
in New York once for an hour or so.
46
00:03:52,467 --> 00:03:55,089
- Yes, I know that. I was that time.
- Oh, you were there.
47
00:03:55,090 --> 00:04:04,968
- Not hour. It was four hours.
- Oh. Four hours.
48
00:04:04,969 --> 00:04:09,537
Unfortunately I was
not out on the street.
49
00:04:09,538 --> 00:04:13,957
I was in my place.
50
00:04:13,958 --> 00:04:36,140
That accident took place just
after few days of my arrival, 1965.
51
00:04:36,141 --> 00:04:43,230
One gentleman, he, I know,
he brought me some candle.
52
00:04:43,231 --> 00:04:45,513
I had no candle even.
53
00:04:45,514 --> 00:04:48,969
Simply I was sitting in darkness.
54
00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:54,925
What can be done?
55
00:04:54,926 --> 00:05:10,264
And Kṛṣṇa sent him
with some candle.
56
00:05:10,265 --> 00:05:17,081
Nine months after that incident they had
a record number of births in New York.
57
00:05:17,082 --> 00:05:25,281
What can they do in darkness?
58
00:05:25,282 --> 00:05:33,183
That is the only
engagement in darkness.
59
00:05:33,184 --> 00:05:35,176
They could have
chanted Hare Kṛṣṇa.
60
00:05:35,177 --> 00:05:52,409
No… Even the Hare Kṛṣṇa people.
61
00:05:52,410 --> 00:05:57,386
Nāviviktāsano bhavet, mātrā
svasrā duhitrā vā. [SB 9.19.17]
62
00:05:57,387 --> 00:06:00,363
It is strictly forbidden:
63
00:06:00,364 --> 00:06:03,238
“You should not sit alone
even with your mother,
64
00:06:03,239 --> 00:06:08,467
sister or daughter,
what to speak of wife.”
65
00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:12,149
balavān indriya-grāmo
vidvāṁsam api karṣati
[SB 9.19.17]
66
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:16,519
“The senses are so strong,
even learned persons,
67
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,520
advanced, they also
become victimized.”
68
00:06:21,521 --> 00:06:23,128
balavän indriya-grämo
[SB 9.19.17]
69
00:06:23,129 --> 00:06:26,400
Balavān means very strong.
70
00:06:26,401 --> 00:06:43,855
When the… [indistinct] forbidden even
with mother, sister or… and daughter.
71
00:06:43,856 --> 00:06:43,857
