True intelligence lies in preserving wealth through mindful stewardship, not merely in acquiring it.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Otherwise he is not my disciple. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, he's not. He didn't chant sixteen rounds. Prabhupāda: India also, there are selected. Morarji Desai is anxious to see me. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, whenever your name is brought up, he feels, "Yes, I want to meet him." Prabhupāda: And the cabinet minister... But they are in prestigious position.
They do not come here. They want me to go to them. I could have come, but in this position... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, and, you know, if your health improves a little, what we may be able to do is to arrange a program in our center in Delhi simply for the selected persons like cabinet ministers, or maybe at one of their homes, and have them invite just the cabinet members and Mr. Desai, and that would be very nice, very high-level meeting.
That could be... You know, just like supposing when you go to Bombay, you'll have to stay in Delhi overnight. So on that evening we can make an arrangement like that. Prabhupāda: Or we can stay in Delhi. No fault. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: One or two days.
Probably you wouldn't be able to speak to all of them 'cause they're not all in the station at once, but even if a few of them came, it would be very good. Prabhupāda: Yes. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Very meaningful. Prabhupāda: We shall go now? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, I think you could. [break] Prabhupāda: We have studied, and his proposal is, some money can be saved. The present management is going on, and if he takes little care... You said up to thirteen thousand? Akṣayānanda: Right. Prabhupāda: Can be saved.
So why not let him do, and let us see practically? If some money is saved, it is very... So you remain as president. How he manages, how he saves, you see.
What do you think? Akṣayānanda: Yes. First class. Prabhupāda: So is that all right? Mr. Myer: Really, the fact is that the excess of expenditure is only [indistinct] thousand. So what...
There are two positions we have to take. One is to increase the revenue, and one is also to curb our expenditure. These are two ways. Prabhupāda: What is that? Come here. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He says in order to make that money, you have to do two things.
