<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- June 30, 1972, San Diego|Room Conversation -- June 30, 1972, San Diego]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Śyāmasundara: We saw some peach trees, small ones.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is also peach?</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes. No peaches in India?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not so big. It is very nice. These fruits are there in India. What is called?</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: Cherries.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Cherry.</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: You have sour cherries too?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: Sour cherries? It's sour.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is sour?</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: There is some kind of cherries which is very sour, for cooking.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Those are sweet.</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: These are sweet.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They become bigger more?</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What are those biggers?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Plums.</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: There's strawberries.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: They're plums. Looks like a cherry.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): And these are avocado.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Fat. Vegetable fat? It is fatty. These fruits are meant for offering to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa says, patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalam. Flowers, leaves, fruits He wants. So these are Kṛṣṇa's food. Patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyam ([[Vanisource:BG 9.26|BG 9.26]]). (devotee enters) What is your problem of life?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): We're miserable.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): We're miserable.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why miserable?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): We never get satisfaction.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. It is good sign, because then you will be searching after the source of satisfaction. The source of satisfaction is Kṛṣṇa. Śānti. Suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati ([[Vanisource:BG 5.29|BG 5.29]]). When you know Kṛṣṇa as the friend of everyone, at that time you get satisfaction. How nice. Everything is so nice.</p>
<p>Devotee (4): Just see how bright this...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Devotee (4): ...how bright these flowers are.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Wherefrom this beauty, nice flower, nice leaves, everything comes? Wherefrom? So I shall have to go?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: The television show is at seven?</p>
<p>Bhakta dāsa: Yes, seven o'clock. Would you still like to go for a drive and see some of the city? The car is all ready.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (to guest) Take more. Come to our temple daily in the morning at seven. Are you coming there?</p>
<p>Guest: Yes. I was staying at the Detroit temple with Bhagavān.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh.</p>
<p>Guest: I was helping the band a little bit. And I came to see you, and I was wondering what I should do to serve you. I should go back to Detroit?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Or you can remain here also, anywhere. We have got temple in Los Angeles. Have you been in Los Angeles?</p>
<p>Guest: No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So come to Los Angeles and stay there for some time. I am going to Los Angeles tomorrow, so you can come. Live with us and you will be happy. We can guarantee you will be happy. Yes. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Our Vedic mission is sarve sukhino bhavantu: everyone be happy. This is our mission. And we know how to become happy. That is our credit. We know. How to become happy we know. Therefore, you can inform others also how to become happy. Happiness is our birthright. Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). Living entity is ānandamaya, full of happiness, but they have fallen in a different condition. Therefore unhappy. Different condition. Just like fish taken out of the water and put into the land, a different condition, and it is throbbing, flapping, unhappy. Take it, put it in the water again, and it will be happy. That's it.</p>
<p>Guest: I don't want to take too much of your time up.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Thank you very much. (end)</p>
