Prabhupada: ...as well as the difference between cats and dogs and human being. And everything is there. Those who are following, they are happy, practically you can see. And those who are not following, they are unhappy. Yes.

Devotee (1): Srila Prabhupada, what do you consider is Gaurasundara's position presently?

Prabhupada: That you can, everyone can understand. (slight laugh) There is no explanation required.

Devotee (2): Prabhupada, you've..., we've been reading your Caitanya-caritamrta comments, and in the Seventh Chapter and Eighth Chapter, that you've been emphasizing very much this mantra,

You've asked your disciples to chant Hare Krsna mantra at least sixteen times round on the beads. Can this mantra also be chanted afterwards, in addition, also on the beads?

Prabhupada: No, no. I have advised that, that sri-krsna-caitanya, this Panca-tattva, must be chanted, but that is kirtana, and this is japa. Sixteen rounds, it is called japa. So, kirtana, when there is chanting, if you chant the Hare..., sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu, then it becomes very clear. There will be no offense. So therefore our process is, first of all chant Hare Krsna, er, sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivas..., you get some strength, then chanting, very..., it will be easy.

Devotee (3): Srila Prabhupada, if after finishing one's sixteen rounds of the maha-mantra...

Prabhupada: Hm?

Devotee (3): ... Hare Krsna, is it all right to...

Prabhupada: It is not finished. If you have got time, if, if you haven't got to do anything else, you can continue, (laughter) sixteen hundred. It is not mechanical: "Now I have finished sixteen rounds, that's all." Why sixteen rounds? You chant sixteen hundred rounds. That is minimum, because you cannot concentrate your mind in chanting, you have no attachment for chanting, that is a, a regulative principle. You must. You must finish this. Otherwise, those who are actually attached to the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, that, that Haridasa Thakura, they are chanting whole day and night. But you cannot imitate that. Your mind is not fixed up. Therefore it is minimum sixteen rounds. Not that "Because minimum sixteen, I cannot chant more." Why not more? You can chant more, more.

Devotee (3): Srila Prabhupada, after, if, if we chant more than sixteen rounds, can we chant bhaja sri-krsna-caitanya in our japa? Is it all right...

Prabhupada: No, no, sri-krsna-caitanya is for, in the beginning it is done. Now you go on chanting as much as you can. And if you chant sri-krsna-caitanya that is also very good. There is no prohibition.

Devotee (4): How do we become free of envy?

Prabhupada: Hm?

Devotee (5): How to become free of envy. How do we become free of envy?

Prabhupada: Envy?

Devotee (5): Mm.

Prabhupada: You don't become envious to your spiritual master. Then you will become free from envy. As soon as you become envious to your spiritual master, then you will..., then begins envious. Chant Hare Krsna.

Devotees: Jaya! (end)
