Indian guest (4): Do you give any importance of coming in, sighting of the soul in the front, and can a person not act as a human being, but . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: Well, you are in my front. You are a soul. What is the difficulty? Everyone, you are all souls. You are in my front. Simply you are dressed only. Suppose you come in a dress. You are my friend. Do I see your dress or you? Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ. Vidyā-vinaya-sampanne (BG 5.18). You are reading Bhagavad-gītā. You know all these things. When you are learned, you won't see the dress. You will see the soul.
Indian guest (3): My real object . . . still, I want to . . . the chanting would be the primary stage, but it is not the stage that it will stay on all the time for a person who is really seeing the truth.
Prabhupāda: No. If you take this process, you will come to the perfectional stage very easily.
Indian guest (3): But do you agree or not?
Prabhupāda: What is that?
Indian guest (3): That chanting is not the stage you have to preserve all the time or practice all the time?
Śyāmasundara: That as you become as more advanced in spiritual life, your chanting drops away.
Prabhupāda: No. no, chanting is eternal. After you become perfect, you will also chant more loudly.
