<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- January 7, 1974, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- January 7, 1974, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Bali Mardana: Also I was thinking to have a large scale propaganda in all the college newspapers.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Bali Mardana: Specifically. To attract...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The same, one advertisement. What is the...?</p>
<p>Karandhara: "Real leaders of human society."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That... You have seen that design I have given?</p>
<p>Karandhara: No, I haven't seen it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, it is not yet done?</p>
<p>Karandhara: No, it's being worked on.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. You can give him the rough idea. That will be very nice propaganda, to select real leaders of the society. The... We are misled by rascal leaders. That is the difficulty, all rascals. If the society is led by real, learned scholars, then it will be nice. Qualified leaders. That is wanted. Leader means better qualified man to lead others. That is leader. Leader does not mean he is himself a fool and leading other fools. (break)</p>
<p>Bali Mardana: ...the poster could have a coupon for Bhagavad-gītā to find the real solution...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no.</p>
<p>Bali Mardana: So they can purchase?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Bhagavad-gītā there are so many. They'll purchase another rascal's Bhagavad-gītā. Simply you make propaganda that what is real leadership. Then they will inquire and we shall reply. (break) ...so many things. So we may not create any disruption amongst our solidarity. Then things will not make progress. In a big machine, even one screw is slack, the machine stops. You know that? So we should not commit such mistake. "Don't care. It is a small screw." No. Even that small screw can stop the whole machine. (break) ...that we are on the platform of deathlessness. Then we can be careful about falling down. And this is a fact.</p>
<p>Bali Mardana: And we will not want to fall down.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That, that is seriousness. Suppose you are going on a plane to Vaikuṇṭha. So your business should be that you may not fall down. The plane may not stop. It is like that. (break) ...Bhāgavata, simply this point is being stressed, that "This is the platform of deathlessness."</p>
