BOB:  Why is that?
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  Because Kṛṣṇa will be pleased. Suppose you have a dog and some friends come and pat your dog. [Śrila Prabhupāda makes big patting motions.] You become pleased. You become pleased: "Oh, he is my good friend." You see how they think. We see this—some friend comes and says, "My, what a nice dog you have." [ Laughter. ] [ Some Indian guests enter the room. ]
ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA:  Please have some  prasāda .
[Śrila Prabhupāda continues speaking with his guests, sometimes in English and sometimes Hindi. It is his last day in New York, and his plane to London is scheduled to leave in only a few hours.

The devotees are scurrying about, bringing luggage to the car, putting the manuscripts of Śrila Prabhupāda's latest translating work in order, and making other last-minute arrangements.]
