Prabhupāda: But actually we are doing that. Still they do not believe? What kind of mūḍha? Eh?

So many of our devotees, they do not work. How they are living? Gurukṛpā: That's Kṛṣṇa's mercy.

Prabhupāda: So why they do not see to it? Gurukṛpā: 'Cause they're mūḍhās. They don't believe.

Prabhupāda: They are mūḍhās. Even they see it, still, they do not believe. Gurukṛpā: They're envious, that we can do it and they can't. If you surrender to Kṛṣṇa, then it could be done.

If you want to struggle yourself, then you have to struggle. That one lady was... They were criticizing how we have such big building and everything, and then you invited her to come and stay with us and she wouldn't do it.

Prabhupāda: So we shall go again or go back? Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: We can go again if you like.

Prabhupāda: Hmm? Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: There is time. They are very much attached to their sinful activities. Prabhupāda: The stool, you take them and keep it apart, they will go again to the stool. Nature's way, they must suffer.
