True spirituality spreads through authentic knowledge in books, never through exploiting sentiment for profit or prestige.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Satsvarūpa: If you associate with a certain type of people, your reputation will be that you are like them, and you'll become like them.
Prabhupāda: [chuckling] So our Śrīdhara Mahārāja's associates are not very good. Then what is his position?
Satsvarūpa: It cannot be said that he is opposed to them.
Satsvarūpa: You can't say he is opposed to them if he always associates with them. They're envious...
Prabhupāda: [sarcastically] Very good associates. That is his associate. He may not be very... No, everyone is not openly envious, everyone, but we can understand by behavior.
Satsvarūpa: Just by keeping apart, he..., that..., he shows there's some enviousness. [long pause]
Prabhupāda: So socks will be required? [break] Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But they have no... Their philosophy has no real basis.
