So I am desiring certain sinful activities, but why is Kṛṣṇa sanctioning it?"</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa does not sanction.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Then how is it going on?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But you insist, so Kṛṣṇa, in disgust, says, "All right, do at your own risk. You rascal. You will not hear Me." That's all. I have given this example many times, that my son wanted to touch the table fan. Did I say it?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: I never heard it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, so, when he was only two years old, so the table fan was running, and the child, he wants to touch it. So I am: "No, don't touch." So, and he was.... So there was another friend, he was a doctor. He said that "Slow the speed and let him touch." So I did it. So he touched, "Tung." (sound imitation) Then I said, "Touch again?" "No!" (laughter) So it is like that.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Oh. It is actually Kṛṣṇa's mercy...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: ...that He allows Him to feel the pain.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Purifies his desires.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: But he doesn't have to feel the pain if he's obedient.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: If he insists.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He gives instruction. Just like I said, "Don't touch. It will hurt your finger. It is not good." "No, no." "So all right, touch."</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: You mentioned that the more intelligent person can become obedient by hearing. The less intelligent person has to see, suffer.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: By practical experience. Dekhe sekhe thekhe sekhese. Tekhe sekhese(?) means he's a fool. Unless he comes to the actual position, he does not learn. And therefore śāstra-cakṣus—one who follows the śāstra's instruction, he is safe. That is experienced already. (end)</p>
