Prabhupāda: Sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 5.25 (1972)|BG 5.25]]), that, it is very difficult. Because even Mahatma Gandhi, such a great person, he said: "Englishman, you go away." Just see. Who can be better than Mahatma Gandhi?

Dr. Patel: And he must have life like Bharata.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Dr. Patel: Jaḍa Bharata.

Prabhupāda: Is there possibility? He was so sacrificeful, but still, he was not sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 5.25 (1972)|BG 5.25]]). Whole struggle was "Englishman, you get out."

Dr. Patel: Sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ will be like Jaḍa Bharata.

Prabhupāda: No, no. Sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ means who is devotee of Kṛṣṇa. He is sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ.

Dr. Patel: Because Kṛṣṇa's representative.

Prabhupāda: He is the root. Aham ādir hi devānām ([[Vanisource:BG 10.2 (1972)|BG 10.2]]). Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]). The root, if you water the root, then sarva-bhūta hite ratāḥ, the water will go to the branches, to the twigs, to the leaves, to the flowers. He is sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 5.25 (1972)|BG 5.25]]). They do not know the way how to become sarva-bhūta-hite. And because . . . just see the example.

Simply they will suffer, that's all.

Mr. Sar: Kleśo 'dhikataras teṣām avyaktāsakta-cetasām avyakta . . .

Prabhupāda: Avyakta. This avyakta . . . they do not find where is the point where sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ. Just like one who knows the electric button, he push. He does not know that. Mūḍha.

Dr. Patel: You have to work the main switch to electrify the . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ. You must know how to do it.

Dr. Patel and Mr. Sar

Prabhupāda: . . . early in the morning have maṅgala-ārātrika, then prasāda. Now, walk, also talking. We are not wasting time. We are not wasting time. Even if you say: "Why you are walking?" then we are not walking for nothing. We are talking. Satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.14 (1972)|BG 9.14]]). Satataṁ kīrtayantaḥ. So walking, talking.
