His mission is, somehow or other, try to people..., try to engage people in Krsna consciousness, they may think of Krsna, some way or other. Then regulate them, after that. Actually our, this Krsna consciousness movement, has attained little success on this principle. When we began this movement we never asked people that "You have to do this; you have to do that." No. "Please come and hear Hare Krsna mantra." This was our policy. Never mind what you are. You may be Christian. You may be Jews. You may be Muhammadan or Hindu, Muslim. Whatever you may be, it doesn't matter. Please come and join with us, the Hare Krsna chanting. Actually, that has become successful. In Tompkins Square, I was sitting underneath a tree and chanting this Hare Krsna mantra alone. And these young men, they used to assemble and dance also in the tune, for three hoursfrom two to five. In this way, we got our followers, associates. And gradually it developed into organization. So in the beginning we did not impose so many rules and regulations. There is no rules and regulations. First thing required: ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc. Antya 20.12]. Unless one's heart is cleansed, he cannot accept rules and regulations. That is not possible. Cora nasane dharme khaih (?). If, if a man is thief, and if you give him moral instruction, that "Stealing is very sinful; do not do it," he will not care for it. A butcher, if you advise him that "Animal killing is very bad. It is sinful," he'll not accept it. That is not possible. His heart should be cleansed. Prayascittam vimarsanam.   (More...)
