<p>Prabhupāda: ...gṛha-medhinām. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvaṁ gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). Those who are gṛhamedhis and do not know anything else except maintaining the family, they are called gṛhamedhi. And those who cultivating spiritual consciousness in gṛhastha life with family and children, they are called gṛhasthas. That is the difference between gṛhamedhi and gṛhastha. So gṛhamedhi, they have no aim of life, of self-realization. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvam ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). That is described in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Nṛnāṁ santi sahasraśaḥ. (break) ...self-realization. Nṛnāṁ santi sahasraśaḥ. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvam ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]), who cannot see what is the ātma-tattvam, what is the path of self-realization. Gṛheṣu gṛhamedhinām. Therefore it is the duty of the sannyāsī... Sannyāsī does not mean that he will beg for fulfilling his hungry belly. Sannyāsī means he must enlighten—that is sannyāsī—in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. (break) ...rājendra nṛnaṁ santi sahasrasaḥ apaśyatām ātma-tattvaṁ gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). This is the Sukadeva Gosvāmī says that śrotavyādīni rājendra ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]), subject matter for hearing nrnam, for the human being, nṛnāṁ santi sahasraśaḥ, thousands of... Just like in the newspaper in the morning, thousands of varieties of news they will attend, and ask them to attend the maṅgala ārati for self-realization, "No, that is not... You are disturbing, nonsense." This is gṛhamedhi. Gṛheṣu gṛhamedhinām. Vedic culture is that one must rise early in the morning. And even Kṛṣṇa in His gṛhastha life, immediately He rose up. Rukmiṇī was disturbed because womanly nature, and again immediately taking bath, meditation. This is Vedic culture. And sleeping up to seven and then unless takes bed tea, without washing teeth, and he is advanced. You see. And if one is asked to "Rise early in the morning and wash yourself, take your bathing and attend maṅgala ārati." "Oh, this is old way, bhajana nonsense." You see. Gṛheṣu gṛhamedhinām.</p>
<p>Girirāja: "Actually a saintly person or a brāhmaṇa has no business visiting householders who are busy in the matter of dollars and cents." (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But that is now neglected.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: So we have come.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, thank you very much.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: You came very early. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...guru more mūrkha dekhi karilā śāśana ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 7.71|CC Adi 7.71]]).</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Now I own it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is better to remain a fool. That is very progressive.</p>
<p>Indian Man (2): Fools are always ready, receptive. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "I am fool, I must receive." That... These Sikh section. The Sikh means you always learn. Sikh, Śikṣa. Go on. (break)</p>
<p>Girirāja: "...one who is expert in the knowledge of the Supreme."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is. Brahma jānatīti brāhmaṇa.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Brahma jānatīti brāhmaṇo 'ham.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Brahma-vidān śreṣṭha, the best of the... Just like dvija-śreṣṭha, another name.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Not only born in brāhmaṇa families, they are not brāhmaṇas. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Nanda Mahārāja did not know who is Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: When did he know that He, Kṛṣṇa was really the son of Devakī? I think after the... just now only.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just now only. He is disclosing. He has given... (break) ...bahūni me janmāny atītāni tava cārjuna. Same thing. "I had many, many births before." That is confirmed here.</p>
<p>Girirāja: "Just as demigods are always protected by Lord Viṣṇu, so the devotees of your child will always be protected by Nārāyaṇa." (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...accept that process. (break) ...cation. (break) Without any advertisement, without any..., how one can stop this?</p>
<p>Indian Man (2): It is not possible. (break)</p>
<p>Girirāja: "The child is very clever. After breaking the pot He has left the place fearing punishment. After she sought all over she found a big wooden grinding mortar kept upside down, and she found her son sitting on it. He was taking butter which was hanging from the ceiling on a swing and was feeding it to the monkeys." (continues reading from Kṛṣṇa Book; rest of tape is unintelligible)</p>
