Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.1.21 & Room Conversation — December 12, 1970, Indore 701212SB-INDORE [87:52 Minutes] SB-06.01.21_701212SB-INDORE Conv_701212SB-INDORE Prabhupāda: In good health? Haṁsadūta: Oh yes. Prabhupāda: And for young man, the more he sleeps, he is dead. [laughter] [chuckles] He's a dead body. The child, if he overeats, if he overeats, then it is not bad for him. But anyone overeats, it is bad, specially for old man.
And if child gets diarrhea, it is good for him. When a old man gets diarrhea, it is death for him. Child gets diarrhea means whatever poisons he has acquired he gets out. His health becomes renovated. And old man, if he gets diarrhea, he loses his vitality.
Chele hange bastre guru hage mostre. These are the para... What is called? Common sayings?
Parables? Haṁsadūta: [indistinct]. Prabhupāda: Oh, it is time. They are not yet ready? Haṁsadūta: No. [pause] If we get that house, Prabhupāda... Prabhupāda: You can get. Haṁsadūta: We can get?
Prabhupāda: Yes, why not? We have appealed to the king, and he is willing. Why can you not? What is the difficulty?
Now it is your business how to induce, induce him. There is chance, ninety percent chance. Haṁsadūta: In which way will it be most helpful—in giving money personally or inducing others to give money? They will give money? Prabhupāda: Yes, otherwise... Haṁsadūta: How much money? Prabhupāda: Ten lakhs. Haṁsadūta: Ten lakhs. They can give the full amount? Prabhupāda: Yes, why not?
This man... It is to be very carefully tackled. This king is going to die very soon. And as soon as the king dies, the queen's position is very precarious, almost finished.
