Kirtan and prasadam nourish the masses; philosophy enlightens only the sincere seekers of truth.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — January 16, 1974, Honolulu 740116MW-HONOLULU [11:24 Minutes] Walk_740116MW-HONOLULU Prabhupāda: ...enjoy in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Don't forget Kṛṣṇa. Then you are well. Nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate [Brs. 1.2.255].
Such a nice park. If we hold saṅkīrtana, people gather and enjoy distribution of prasādam, then it becomes very nice. And only to come here to find out sex facilities, then going to ruin. [aside:] Give me that.
[japa] Very good park. [indistinct] [break] ...and for class of people, talking. This is required, philosophical talk, those who will understand. For mass of people kīrtana is sufficient.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Bali-mardana: And then when you start to talk, they become fidgety. [laughter] Sudāmā: Or they want to argue.
Prabhupāda: Just like for children, you give them prasādam, all will gather together. You see? And if you talk before them of philosophy, what they will understand? [japa] [break] ...Rajneesh.
Bali-mardana: I think he's just doing exercises.
Prabhupāda: Varieties of madmen. Keśava tuyā jagata vicitra: "O My Lord Keśava, Your creation is full of varieties." [sound of man shouting "ha" in the background] The same Rajneesh process? Bali-mardana: Yes.
