<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Interview -- July 20, 1972, Paris|Interview -- July 20, 1972, Paris]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Devotee: ...how a man such as yourself, in such a high position and such hierarchy was able to leave all this in order to bring this message to others?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. It's not to be... Life is divided into four parts: brahmacārī, student, gṛhastha, householder, vānaprastha, retired life and sannyāsa. Everyone should follow this principle. First of all, as brahmacārī student he should learn sufficiently what is the value of life. Then, when he's a householder, he should live properly with husband, wife and children-properly. Then, after retired life, giving the responsibility of household life to grown-up children, he should take lessons from saintly persons. (indistinct) Then at the end he should take sannyāsa. Whatever knowledge he has gathered he must distribute by traveling from one place to another. This is Vedic civilization. Everyone should come out. Not that they should remain at home and drink and sleep for the whole life. This is Vedic civilization.</p>
<p>Devotee: Do you think, in a world so much caught up in material way of things... (indistinct) ...be able to penetrate?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. This is penetrating. Just like here in France, in your country, how these young men they are taking part unless it is penetrating?</p>
<p>Devotee: He says thank you very, very much. (indistinct) ...very much trouble before meeting you... (indistinct) Thank you very much for the few minutes you've afforded to us. (indistinct) ...for a long journey.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Thank you very much.</p>
<p>Frenchman: Merci.</p>
<p>Devotees: Jaya! (end)</p>
