My only point is that we are dealing with the public. They are paying us money and we should handle them so carefully so that they may think of us as spotless. |

Following His footsteps, we are preaching Caitanya Mahaprabhu's cult and giving sannyasa for preaching. That is not unauthorized. |

Of course it is a novel thing, that a sannyasi is taking part in marriage. But what can be done? I have to execute my mission. |

| Prabhupāda: You want to live securely, but that is not there. You may make political arrangement very secure, but what is the nature's arrangement? You'll be kicked out at any moment. There is no certainty. There is no guarantee even that you will be allowed to live for so many years. At any moment. Harikeśa: But if we're always thinking of death, how can we enjoy life now? Prabhupāda: But death is sure. If you are not thinking, then you are a rascal. That is the point. (laughs) Death is sure. And if you are not thinking, then you are a rascal. That is the proof. Suppose I am sitting here, we are walking here, and some danger is coming. It will immediately kill. So shall I remain here very peacefully? (laughter) First of all make insurance, just like they make insurance, that no death will come. Your scientific advancement, your so many advancement, make it sure that you will not die; you will live here comfortably forever. Then you make your house nice, decorate it very... Where is that arrangement? |

Nobody should interfere with our work. There is no need to send anything to be checked by Purusottama das in Vrindaban. It is useless. |

To become a spiritual master is not easy job. One must be very learned scholar and must have full realization of the self and everything. |

In the last year you have changed your engagement so many times, it is not good, better to stick to something and complete it than constantly changing. |
