Room Conversation — June 12, 1975, Honolulu 750612R1-HONOLULU [64:42 Minutes] Conv_750612R1-HONOLULU Prabhupāda: You giving this theory that from the tree a man and a monkey came. So, where is that experiment? Where is that? Siddha-svarūpa: Sometimes it is seen that impersonalists, although they may be impersonalists, still they may not directly speak of themselves as being equal to Kṛṣṇa.

They, it is sometimes found that impersonalists they don’t, they will not directly speak of themselves as being equal to Kṛṣṇa. They will not even mention. They wont even mention.

Govinda dasi: Śrīla Prabhupāda? So, our relationship with you as spiritual master has existed eternally in the past, or will exist eternally?

Prabhupāda: That don’t bother with it. Go on, do with minimum. [long pause] Past and present, you are present, the commentary is just carry out the orders, that’s all. When you have accepted spiritual master, carry out, that’s all. cakhu-dān dilo jei, janme janme prabhu sei.

Past means that, then you admit to your disciple, that in the past you could not carry out, therefore accept another birth. So, carry out. That is the point. What is the use of talking past, present and future? ār nā koriho mane āśā.

This is wanted. Don’t think of anything else. That is the point. Siddha-svarūpa: So, then if I’m worried about my past or my future..?

Prabhupāda: No, whatever is past is past. Now, I have got the knowledge, let me carry out. Cakhu-dān, now I have got this real knowledge. What is the use of thinking of past ?
