Human being, and our business is to teach and become ideal ourself. Āpani ācari prabhu jīvere śikhāya (Lord Caitanya). We have to teach by our personal behavior. If you rise early in the morning, if you take your bath, if you sit down regularly and keep . . . (indistinct) . . . how he can deny? How one can deny? It is not possible. But if I smoke, I ask others not to smoke, that will never be possible. Āpani ācari prabhu jīvere, first of all you have to be. If one is not cleansing, you shall tell me just like I , I . . . (indistinct) . . . this way. We have to do like that. Not that I "Comand, you do this. Oh, you cannot do? Get out.".

Prabhupāda: If a student does not learn nicely, you cannot say: "Get out." As far as possible. But when it is absolutely impossible to correct him, then you have to ask. And if there is money, equal you have to manage some money. What can be done? But I don't think that if we try our best to correct him, this ultimate punishment will be required . . . (indistinct) . . . after all, human being, and our business is to teach and become ideal ourself. Āpani ācari prabhu jīvere śikhāya (Lord Caitanya). We have to teach by our personal behavior. If you rise early in the morning, if you take your bath, if you sit down regularly and keep . . . (indistinct) . . . how he can deny? How one can deny? It is not possible. But if I smoke, I ask others not to smoke, that will never be possible. Āpani ācari prabhu jīvere, first of all you have to be. If one is not cleansing, you shall tell me just like I , I . . . (indistinct) . . . this way. We have to do like that. Not that I "Comand, you do this. Oh, you cannot do? Get out." Not that. We show him. After all, our life is sacrificed for teaching, and that teaching means one should behave himself nicely. He cannot say that, "You do not . . . (indistinct) . . ." Just like one day in London there was some talks with Nanda-kumāra, you. He was accusing you; you were accusing him. I heard from . . . (indistinct) . . . so you should do in such a way that he cannot accuse you. If you ask him to rise early in the morning, take your bath, and if you do not take . . . of course in some special case. I was taking early bath. Now I do not take, because due to my health. That is preferred . . . otherwise, regularly I was taking. Not even hot water. Regularly. This hot water bath I have begun in your country; otherwise I have never taken. Even in severest cold. Here also I am trying to avoid. I am keeping tub of water, sunshine. Whatever little warm it becomes, that's all. So, of course, for special health reason one cannot rise, he is sick and cannot attend, otherwise, everyone should rise early in the morning, take bath and be ready for performing our service by six o'clock or five o'clock. And the kīrtana party, you should know everyone go. It may be small distance, but all our men should go. That will be real benefit. See in the early in the morning. So many parties come.

Śyāmasundara: From three-thirty.

Prabhupāda: Three-thirty. So you behave yourself, and others will follow. What is that? Cleanliness and following the routine work. That is our method. You must be very clean, neat and clean, rise early in the morning. We have got our duties.
