My Guru Mahārāja used to say that, "After propagating this missionary activities, if I see one man has understood this philosophy, I will take my mission as a success. I don't want many . . .

This pravṛtti-mārga—unlimitedly. Pravṛtti-mārga means if you want to enjoy the senses whimsically, as much as you like, that is called pravṛtti-mārga. And the other mārga, way is the crossing, the nivṛtti-mārga: no more sense gratification. That is called nivṛtti-mārga.

So to bring these fools and rascals from the pravṛtti-mārga to nivṛtti-mārga, this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore we have got . . . (indistinct) . . . sense gratification. Then we cannot imitate. That is the whole Vedic process. Just like those who are meat-eaters, the Vedic process is, it doesn't say imitate it. No. Stop eating, we say, because our process is a little advanced than ordinary Vedic process. This is also Vedic process. Because where is the time? Where is the time? So the Vedic process says: "All right, if you cannot stop meat-eating, just offer some small animal before Goddess Kali." The worship of Goddess Kali means it is a concession to the meat-eaters. It is not required. It is tamasic.

So pravṛtti-mārga or nivṛtti-mārga, so we have to become fixed about these things. We cannot be deviant. If somebody cannot tolerate to sit down, then you don't mind for them. We want one moon, not millions of stars. We don't want. What is the use of the moon (stars)? Useless. If you have one moon, it will light the whole sky, full moon. So we are trying to make one moon, not million stars. This is our policy.

My Guru Mahārāja used to say that, "After propagating this missionary activities, if I see one man has understood this philosophy, I will take my mission as a success. I don't want many . . . (indistinct) . . ." That policy we are also following. We don't want millions of stars; we want one moon. That will save you. You always remember: try to become moon, not to become star. Useless. Nobody cares for the stars, but everyone is waiting for the full moon. That is wanted. Now try to make full moon, not stars. So this is our policy. So therefore somebody may disagree. We don't mind. Still we want there must be moon, not the stars.
