Devotee (1): A brush. ¶
Prabhupāda: No soap? ¶
Devotee (1): I don’t think so. It’s wire, metal. ¶
Prabhupāda: What? ¶
Devotee (1): It’s a metal brush. It would be too hard for the nails, for the body. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yeah. For toes? For toenails. ¶
Devotee (1): For feet? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Toenails, perhaps. ¶
Prabhupāda: [indistinct] cord? ¶
Devotee (1): Silk cord? ¶
Prabhupāda: What is it meant? ¶
Devotee: Round the neck. Some brass shoes. [loud noises of fireworks exploding] ¶
Prabhupāda: You [indistinct]? ¶
Devotee (1): Match your bead bag. ¶
Prabhupāda: Huh? ¶
Devotee (1): It will match your bead bag. ¶
Devotee (2): Handkerchief. ¶
Prabhupāda: Popularly. [laughter] ¶
Devotee (1): Time magazine, special issue. ¶
Prabhupāda: [devotees are laughing as they look at magazine] First name [indistinct]? What is that? ¶
Devotee (1): It says “Vai…, Vaikuṇṭha Playhouse, statement of purpose.” There’s a theatrical group called the Vaikuṇṭha Players. [break] ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: …Śrīla Prabhupāda, Fourth of July. ¶
Prabhupāda: Huh? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: It’s Fourth of July. ¶
Prabhupāda: Today? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Keep it all in almirah. ¶
Devotee (1): This is some peanuts. ¶
Prabhupāda: Distribute. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: It’s a very sad day for us, Śrīla Prabhupāda. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: It’s a sad day for us. ¶
Prabhupāda: Sad day? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Sad. ¶
Prabhupāda: Why? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: You have, [indistinct] very limited opportunity for associating, so offensively. You’ll be leaving today. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: You’ll be going away. ¶
Prabhupāda: Home-made soap you can make? ¶
Devotee (1): I could make it if I found out how. I don’t know the ingredients. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Devotee (1): I don’t know the ingredients, but I could find out the ingredients and the process. I could try. ¶
Prabhupāda: Who can make home-made soap. You can? ¶
Devotee (3): We will be making in… ¶
Prabhupāda: Huh? ¶
Devotee (3): …the Spiritual Sky business. We’ll be making. It’s the same business, this soap, I think. ¶
Prabhupāda: No, it is not needed. ¶
Devotee (1): [indistinct] [fireworks explode] ¶
Prabhupāda: It is [indistinct]. ¶
Devotee (1): Yes. [break] ¶
Prabhupāda: …a cheater is not disqualification in this country. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: It’s a good qualification. ¶
Prabhupāda: [laughs] Good qualification. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Biggest cheaters are in control, in charge. ¶
Prabhupāda: What is the disqualification? Not to become cheater? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, then they will be stupid. ¶
Devotee (4): To be an honest man. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: See, then they call you stupid. ¶
Prabhupāda: Oh. The standard is different, completely. Human intelligence means you must be a big cheater. ¶
Devotee (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda? ¶
Prabhupāda: Ah? ¶
Devotee (1): What would you like to take for lunch today? ¶
Prabhupāda: I’m not feeling very much hungry. Don’t prepare now. If I feel hungry, it can be done. Call Śyāmasundara. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Śrīla Prabhupāda? ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Would you have any instructions as to how I could serve you better? For me? ¶
Prabhupāda: By convincing people of… [end] ¶
