Rascaldom is not nice. But Kṛṣṇa is absolute God; therefore rascaldom is also good. Kṛṣṇa is all-good. God is good. Prabhupāda: Therefore, when He becomes rascal, that is also good. That is Kṛṣṇa. Rascaldom is not good, but when it is practiced by Kṛṣṇa, because He's absolute good, that rascaldom is also good. That one has to understand.

Bob: Is Kṛṣṇa attractive to rascals?

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. He was the greatest rascal also.

Bob: How is this?

Prabhupāda: (laughing) Because He was teasing always the ''gopīs''.

Śyāmasundara: Teasing?

Prabhupāda: Yes. The Rādhārāṇī would go, because She was married, and Kṛṣṇa will attack Her. And when She fall down, "Kṛṣṇa, don't torture Me in that way." She will fall down, and Kṛṣṇa will take the opportunity and kiss Her. (Prabhupāda laughs) So from superficially, Rādhārāṇī was very pleased, but superficially Kṛṣṇa is a great . . . the greatest rascal.

Unless rascaldom is not in Kṛṣṇa, how rascaldom is there, existence in the world? Because our formula of God is that He's the source of everything.

(aside) Ask her not to talk. (to someone in Bengali: ''Katha kaibe nā! Katha kaibe nā''.)

Unless rascaldom is not in Kṛṣṇa, how it can be manifest? Because He's the source of everything. But His rascaldom is so nice that everyone worships His rascaldom.

Bob: But what about the rascals who are not so nice?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Bob: What about . . .

Prabhupāda: No, rascaldom is not nice. But Kṛṣṇa is absolute God; therefore rascaldom is also good. Kṛṣṇa is all-good. God is good.

Bob: Yeah.

Prabhupāda: Therefore, when He becomes rascal, that is also good. That is Kṛṣṇa. Rascaldom is not good, but when it is practiced by Kṛṣṇa, because He's absolute good, that rascaldom is also good. That one has to understand.

Bob: Are there some people who do not find Kṛṣṇa attractive?

Prabhupāda: It is not the . . . no question of some people. Kṛṣṇa cannot be compared with some people. He's God.

Bob: No, do some people find Him not attractive?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Bob: Do some people find Kṛṣṇa not attractive?

Prabhupāda: No. Anyone will find Him . . . some people must be of some kind. You cite any kind of people, he'll be attracted. Who's not attracted? Just place a man, example that, "This man or this living entity is not attracted to Kṛṣṇa." Just find out.
