What is the difficulty to understand? I am the same person
|
Gurukrpa: Like that Mayavadi last night.
Prabhupada: He was a rascal. [laughs] Neither mayavada; suvidhavadi, opportunist.
[out of car] [break]
Gargamuni: We can walk on the beach. It's a very smooth beach, the sand. [break]
Prabhupada: ...I was jumping here. [laughter] 1920 or '21, I came. After my appearing in examination, B.A. test, I came here. By that time I was married. I was married in 1918.
[break] Because jubilant, I was jumping. When the waves come, I was jumping; the waves passed. There was one guide, he taught me, Babuji, aisa karo "Sir, do like this".
Gargamuni: They wear those hats.
Prabhupada: Yes. [break] ...'20, and it is 1977. How many years?
Gurukrpa: Fifty-seven years.
Prabhupada: Fifty-seven years after. [laughs] So the body has not changed? Where is that body? Now I am with stick. [laughter] Then I was jumping. Is not that? I am there; I remember. The body has changed. What is the difficulty to understand? I am the same person. How I am remembering all these things. But I have no... That body is now lost. Tatha dehantara-praptih. Why this simple philosophy these rascals cannot understand? I remember; I am not the second man. I am the same person, but I haven't got the same body. The whole world this simple philosophy cannot understand. Where is the difficulty they cannot understand?
Because they are not dhira. Dhira means sober. They're all rascals. They cannot understand. But dhira tatra na muhyati, those who are sober, they can understand immediately. So there is no education to make people sober and intelligent. All rascals, fools, rogues, thieves, that's all. Animals. What they will understand about spiritual life? Therefore Krsna... After all, Krsna is speaking. That this very word is used: dhiras tatra na muhyati. Adhira. There are two classes of men, dhira and adhira. Dhira means sober, and adhira means restless. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He gave us something dhiradhira. Krsnotkirtana-gana-nartana-parau premamrtambho-nidhi dhiradhira [Sri Sad-gosvami-astaka 1, Srinivasa Acarya].
What is next word?
Gurukrpa: Dhiradhira-jana-priyau.
Prabhupada: Very nice beach. So acquire this. Yes?
Gargamuni: I'll see the D. M. [District Magistrate] this morning. There's still those other two plots...
Prabhupada: Yes.
Gargamuni: ...on the main road. I will show you.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Gargamuni: And on the other side of Puri there's a big beach area I will show you.
Gurukrpa: This is much cleaner than down there where the tourist hotels are.
Prabhupada: The first plot is very pleasing. It is all right. And you'll have very grand. Make road to sea, down to sea. [break] Now mostly people are adhira. Therefore they cannot understand. Where is that? Flagstaff? There is a house called Flagstaff. One can walk miles.
Prabhupada: Therefore tourists come here.
[break] [back in car]
Then gradually you can develop. [break] ...Bajoriya house and that land.
Gargamuni: And that other...
Prabhupada: Yes. It is very nice. [break] If not, we can pay little.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Gargamuni: It's already built. We can re-renovate it and make it very beautiful for you.
Prabhupada: Yes. Take it.
Gargamuni: And if we construct a temple there, it is just near the temple.
Prabhupada: Yes. It is very nice. [break] [end]
