Direct all natural desires toward Krishna's service, or nature's laws will bind you eternally to material birth.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: [announces:] Morning walk March 8th, ...April 8th, 1976. Madhudviṣa: ...gave one flower to the prime minister of Australia.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Madhudviṣa: He gave a donation.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Akṣayānanda: How much did he give? Madhudviṣa: I don't know how much he gave, but he gave a donation. Akṣayānanda: Did he get a book?
Madhudviṣa: Yes, she gave him our magazine. Devotee (1): [indistinct] Madhudviṣa: There was no security.
Prabhupāda: Why? Madhudviṣa: There was no security around him. He just was standing there on the sidewalk out in front of one hotel after this luncheon.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Madhudviṣa: And she just walked up to him and "Oh, this is a flower for you," pinned it on his lapel. Prabhupāda: Hmm. So he had no personal guard? Madhudviṣa: He had some guard, but it was not very strict security, there was no... It's not like in America, where the president is very..., his life is very jeopardized all the time. [pause] [break] Prabhupāda: It is not their fault. The Western civilization is like that.
Now we have to make a thorough change. The persons from the ecclesiastical order, they are also so polluted, they are sanctioning homosex, abortion. What can be done for the common man? Madhudviṣa: I was reading in the paper the other day how the Catholic church has drastically declined in the last ten years. Prabhupāda: They must decline. Madhudviṣa: They are losing one billion dollars a year in donations because they cannot... Prabhupāda: They should starve; not a single paisa donation. By law should be prohibited.
