Is it not a service to the humanity to give real knowledge? But the service to the body is not neglected. Just like we are giving this knowledge to the world, it does not mean that we are starving, or anyone who comes to us, he will starve. In our Māyāpur center daily one hundred men are being fed.

Our becoming the representative of Kṛṣṇa is not very difficult job, because we do not misinterpret the readings of Bhagavad-gītā. We accept them as it is. If there is some doubt . . . there cannot be any doubt. It may be due to my poor fund of knowledge I cannot understand it—that we should admit. The lines, as stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, they are as perfect as anything. But if I cannot understand it, that is my lack of knowledge, my poor fund of knowledge. Therefore Kṛṣṇa has suggested, or ordered, in this Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:tad viddhi praṇipātena
:paripraśnena sevayā
:upadekṣyanti tad jñānaṁ
:jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 4.34 (1972)|BG 4.34]])
</div>

Because there may be some difficulty. Just like here Kṛṣṇa says that gatāsūn agatāsūṁś ca nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.11 (1972)|BG 2.11]]). He is ordering completely that the subject matter of this body is not very important thing. The most important thing is to understand about the spirit soul which is within the body. But at the present moment the whole world is giving simply stress on the body. Just like last night there was question, that to serve the humanity. Yes, serve the humanity . . . is it not a service to the humanity to give real knowledge?

But the service to the body is not neglected. Just like we are giving this knowledge to the world, it does not mean that we are starving, or anyone who comes to us, he will starve. In our Māyāpur center daily one hundred men are being fed. And in our Bombay center . . . similarly, in our Los Angeles . . . in all centers our temple is open. Any man can come and eat and live with us.
