<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- July 18, 1976, New York|Morning Walk -- July 18, 1976, New York]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...this city, this will be a small parade with some hand-pulled floats. Another trick of the Hare Kṛṣṇas.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Bali Mahārāja was asked for three feet of land. "Very good. You speak so nicely, such intelligent, but You are boy, You do not know how to ask. I can give You a big island." "No, I must be satisfied as I require. I don't want more. Only three feet, that's all."</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: That story is in the Eighth Canto, Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hmm. I'm going now with that story. (break) "Rascal, if you give like that, where you will stay? He'll take everything!" Smārta brāhmaṇa. Simply considering "How I shall live?" (laughs)</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Materialist.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What did Bali Mahārāja reply?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He rejected guru. "You are not guru."</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Śukrācārya.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: But that guru told him to worship Viṣṇu officially.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, he was by nature Viṣṇu, Vaiṣṇava, like the grandfather, Prahlāda Mahārāja.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: But he was a demon.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Who?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Born as a demon, in a demon family, not a demon.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Demon family. Viṣṇu-dveṣī(?). Still, they are kṣatriyas. Just like the Europeans and Americans, they were kṣatriyas, now they have become demons. Actually they are kṣatriyas. I have studied. And the Jews are vaiśyas. (laughter)</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: The Jews are vaiśyas.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's why they call them the American Marwaris.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) Yes. They know how to do business and earn money.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: A lot of your disciples are Jewish.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore they know how to make money.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They take up your idea of book distribution and they make all the money from it. (laughing)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everything can be utilized for Kṛṣṇa. Prāṇair arthair dhiyā vacaḥ. (break)</p>
