Submissive hearing combined with intelligence dissolves religious prejudice and reveals truth.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: If these men will give a little bit of aural reception, then they can get their misgivings, misunderstandings, cleared away by speaking with you. But they will have to be ready to hear submissively, and they have to be intelligent. Before I ever came to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I would have always understood that religion meant sectarian. That is a common idea.
Someone sees a sādhu or religious person, they immediately take it this is unscientific and sectarian. [break]
Prabhupāda: ...right? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I wasn't clear about that, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Mrs. Mhatre's? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Mrs. Mhatre?
Prabhupāda: He said like that? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I can find out.
