The Holy Name purifies without conditions; the world starves from mismanagement, not Krishna's scarcity.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: They'll never accept it. But if they simply accept chanting, it will work. [tape of Prabhupāda chanting Govindam prayers in background] [break] ...stay on these big, big buildings, but chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Gurukṛpā: Sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṭ-manobhiḥ [SB 10.14.3].
Prabhupāda: Hmm. If you make condition that you stop this, it will be failure. And it is not possible. Gurukṛpā: I don't think you did like that in the beginning.
Prabhupāda: Eh? Gurukṛpā: In the beginning you just asked everyone to chant, and naturally they wanted to do more after.
Prabhupāda: And if they chant, gradually they'll be purified. [chants japa] [break] ...you take another body, you will greet... This philosophy does not appeal to the Westerners. Eh?
I think so. "Oh, what nonsense this is, speaking?" Eh? Do they not think like that? Gurukṛpā: Yes, they do.
Prabhupāda: But that is the actual fact. Devotee (1): This philosophy's alien to everything they've heard, so it's different than everything they've heard.
Prabhupāda: No, no, the... A fact is there. Why it is alien? Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Well, the Western religions have taught that whatever you do in this lifetime will determine whether you go to heaven or hell, and there's no second chance.
