<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Radio Interview -- February 12, 1969, Los Angeles|Radio Interview -- February 12, 1969, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Interviewer: Does your method include meditation, austerity of various sorts...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, this is austerity.</p>
<p>Interviewer: ...in addition to no alcohol, no drugs?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: We don't mention any particular thing. Generally we say "No intoxication."</p>
<p>Interviewer: But that's a negative. I'm talking now about... What about the positive aspects of it? Because I have known some very wicked people who never indulged in intoxicants.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes...</p>
<p>Interviewer: I doubt if that is your dividing line.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Simply becoming non-intoxicated does not mean that he is a very good man. That I admit.</p>
<p>Interviewer: Does the method include meditation? What... How do you go about this process?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our process is... It is also meditation. But as you understand by meditation, that concentrating the mind upon some super subject matter, the same thing is there, but we don't try to concentrate the mind artificially. But our, this chanting process immediately attracts the mind. Our process is... Just like Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare, Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare. We chant it in melodious song. So mind is attracted, and we try to hear the sound. That means my mind and my ear is compact in that thought. Therefore it is practical meditation.</p>
