<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- December 5, 1973, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- December 5, 1973, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Yaśomatīnandana: Prabhupāda, do you think that the ISKCON will, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness will become a major religion in any country?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: Kṛṣṇa consciousness will become a major religion in any country?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So far the statement goes, manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu ([[Vanisource:BG 7.3|BG 7.3]]), one can understand. But even one person understands, it is beneficial for many. Yes.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: Just like you understood your Guru Mahārāja's message, and the whole world is benefited.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Jaya, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: Not everybody can be that potent. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...just like the sunshine is open to everyone, but if you do not take advantage of it, that is your fault. Sunshine is not meant for, specifically for any person. It is open to everyone. But if you purposefully close your door, and do not see the sunshine, that is your fault.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: Yes, Prabhupāda, but there's only one earthly planet, and you have conquered it already.</p>
<p>Umāpati: Is not a true Vaiṣṇava also a sannyāsī? Would you explain the difference between them?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Umāpati: Is not a, one who is truly a Vaiṣṇava, is he not also a sannyāsī by his...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Sannyāsī, sannyāsī is in the material platform, and Vaiṣṇava is in the spiritual platform.</p>
<p>Umāpati: So then the Vaiṣṇava is superior to a sannyāsī?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. He's not sannyāsī. He's above sannyāsī.</p>
<p>Umāpati: Oh. But a Vaiṣṇava would always offer his respects to a sannyāsī. Is that not true?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, Kṛṣṇa was offering respect to His elderly persons. That is etiquette.</p>
