<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- July 8, 1975, Chicago|Morning Walk -- July 8, 1975, Chicago]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Jaga-jīvana: All classes of men should preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. First of all he must know what to preach. If he does not know what to preach, what he will preach? You have got a preaching capacity, provided you learn the art of preaching. But everyone can preach. That's a fact.</p>
<p>Devotee: What is to become of those devotees that leave ISKCON and take to breaking the regulative principles, and stop chanting sixteen rounds?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Explain.</p>
<p>Devotee: There are even brāhmaṇas in our temple who have left the temple and they are acting just like karmīs.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So they were wrongly initiated. We want recommendation from the authority, whether one should be initiated, but they gave wrong information. That is the defect of the informer. (break)</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...Hari-nāma initiation can be a little more liberal.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But brāhmaṇa initiation should be strict.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Very strict. Very strict means he must be observed that he is actually chanting sixteen rounds, following the regulative principles. That's all.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Those are the important...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: These are the criterions, that he is actually, seriously doing this. Then he can be initiated. Otherwise useless. He will fall down. (break)</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...stated that one who does not, an unsuccessful person in yoga practice takes his next birth, śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe ([[Vanisource:BG 6.41|BG 6.41]]).</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is another thing, but you are fallen. Who take birth in high family or in opulent, that is the fallen condition. That is not successful con... But they are taking, "This is success. I have got so much money. I have got so much prestige. This is success."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's a fallen condition.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is fallen condition.</p>
<p>Devotee: They think that is the success of life.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They think. They are foolish. They can think like that. Generally, that is... Not that devotees are not opulent. No, that is not. But this materialistic opulence means fallen condition.</p>
