**Prabhupāda: **We have to do, but we have to do in such a way that I may not be in inconvenience. Just take something. All right. Bring something; take one piece. That's all. Finished. You were drinking before?

**Devotee: **Yes, I was [indistinct].

**Prabhupāda: **So you don't feel any inconvenience?

**Devotee: **No.

**Prabhupāda: **That's nice. You were smoking also?

**Devotee: **No.

**Prabhupāda: **That's nice. Our students, they have very quickly given up the four principles of sinful activity. And that is actually surprising to all these so-called *sannyāsīs* also. They are surprised. They cannot give up tea-drinking, smoking. Still, they are passing on as spiritually advanced.

They are still servant of smoking and tea, and they have become God. Just see the fun! "Nārāyaṇa." They address one another, "Nārāyaṇa." [laughter] "You are Nārāyaṇa. I am Nārāyaṇa. There is no trouble because you are Nārāyaṇa." So begin.

[break] Others not. Your father.

**Child: **My grandfather.

**Prabhupāda: **So *aśakti...*?

**Child: **[indistinct]

**Prabhupāda:** Heh? Ah. [end]
