Room Conversation — April 2, 1972, Sydney 720402R1-SYDNEY [87:40 Minutes] Conv-720402R1-SYDNEY Prabhupāda: That's a fact. Today the superior training and intelligence. No so-called gentleman will hear. [indistinct] attention continually.

Nobody will hear. They come and hear, they go on. But they were hearing very seriously. Was it not? Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Questions were intelligent. So all these frustrated boys and girls in the Western world, they are all good candidate. You have to organize to give them; they are searching after. Śyāmasundara: It seems like that it's the nature of all living entities to be mad after something.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Love. That I explained—love. We have got our love in store.

But instead of loving Kṛṣṇa, we have distributed the love in so many ways, and frustrated. Love is there in store. That is reserved for Kṛṣṇa. And we are trying to love Kṛṣṇa, that I explained.

Why I am loving this body, loving this apartment? Ultimately it goes to Kṛṣṇa. But that you do not know. You are actually trying to love Kṛṣṇa.

But because nobody is giving him Kṛṣṇa, he's crying. Śyāmasundara: That was the name of Allen Ginsberg's first book, Howl.
