Truth is one for all seekers; surrender to Krishna lifts you instantly rather than climbing steps laboriously.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
[devotee translates throughout; Italian printer, Bruno, speaks in French]
Prabhupāda: [looking at book] Very nice. Hare Kṛṣṇa, thank you. Very nice. Bhagavān: He has worked very...
He's been trying very hard to get the Kṛṣṇa book out, but he left a little too early.
Prabhupāda: Never mind. Bhagavān: [to translator] Tell him that Prabhupāda was remarking how nice the Dutch Bhagavad-gītā was. Translator: [translates for Bruno, the printer]
Prabhupāda: It is done very nice. It is nice. Very nice. Bhagavān: He says that the next books he will print will be even nicer.
Prabhupāda: Very good. Translator: He's very happy to meet you, he says. He wasn't expecting it. He had many questions to ask you, a few questions, but he saw that you were tired today, so... Prabhupāda: No, no, I'm not tired. Translator: He says he has very much appreciation for all that we're doing here, for all of our activities, but he's wondering what is the actual freedom we're getting from all these activities, what is the actual goal, and what is the freedom we derive from doing these activities? Prabhupāda: So, explain what is the goal.
[translator explains] Yogeśvara: [translating question] What is our definition of liberty, freedom, spiritual? Prabhupāda: Liberty means whatever you like, you can do. That is liberty. But at the present moment, you cannot do that. Just like you want to go to the moon planet, you cannot do that.
