Nalinīkānta: Every month, ten to fifteen new devotees are doing saṅkīrtana.

Prabhupāda: Very good. Nalinīkānta: Ten new book distributors in the last month.

Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa will give all facilities if we are sincerely serving Kṛṣṇa. The government gives all facilities to the government servant. The government gives all facilities to the soldiers. When there is fight, there is scarcity of commodities in the civil life, but there is no scarcity among the soldiers.

The first consideration: soldiers. Similarly, those devotees who are fighting against māyā, their facility is first concern. They're fighting, trying to save the people from the onslaught of material energy. That will be explained.

What is next verse? Nalinīkānta: Tat prayāso na kartavyo yata āyur-vyayaḥ param, na tathā.

Prabhupāda: What is previous verse before that? Nalinīkānta: Sukham aindriyakaṁ daityāḥ [SB 7.6.3].

Prabhupāda: We have discussed this. Nalinīkānta: Yes.
