They'll say, "You're trying to brainwash us also."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is my duty. You are trying to brain, my brainwash; I am trying yours. That is going on. That is the tussle. You are trying your best. It is a wrestling. You are trying your strength; I am trying my strength. That is... Otherwise where there is fight? There is no question of fight. You don't agree with me; I don't agree with you. You have got right to not agree with me; I have got right not to agree with you. Now let us settle.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Well, the thing Rāmeśvara Mahārāja was saying was that they're bringing all these psychiatrists and psychologists in to make so many statements.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Let them bring. We have got our own psychiatrists.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: He was saying in order to defeat them, we have to bring in other psychiatrists and psychologists.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The psychiatrists mean... Do you mean to say whatever they will say, we have to accept?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Well, they're considered authorities.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: The foolish public considers them authorities of behavior and the mind.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then everyone, a psychiatrist's recommendation. Even a sane man can be proved that he's a madman by the recommendation of psychiatrist.</p>
<p>Gurukṛpā: Yes.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: Yes, but how can a psychologist judge a religion? That's not his field. They have to bring in scholars whose field is religion.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Then those who are supporting us, our books, they are also.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Yes, we have many witnesses.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are also madmen.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: So many big professors.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Dr. Harvey Cox.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They have to be dismissed by the government from the post. "Why you are keeping so many madmen as big, big...?"</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Yes. Those who have supported us, then they're also madmen.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: They must be fired immediately.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. We have brainwashed. They are brainwashed. So they should be dismissed.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: Even Jimmy Carter, he gave one "Thank you for this book."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: One man is our favor said, "If they are brainwashed, then all the people of the East..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: "...millions of..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Brainwashed.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: "...millions of people, they have to be considered brainwashed."</p>
<p>Gurukṛpā: You should drop the bomb.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Stop your Christian propaganda. Why you are doing that?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: They should deprogram everybody.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: So if you want to go for guru-pūjā, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. (end)</p>
