Acting in Knowledge of Krsna 79
[Some time elapses.] So, you have understood what is knowl-
edge anil what is honesty?
BOB: I—in a way. In a way.
SRILA PRABHUPADA: And is there another way? [Bob
laughs.] Is there any other way? Defy it! [Bob laughs again.
Srila Prabhupada also laughs.) Another way? Giriraja?
GIRIRAJA: No.
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Is there an alternative? We do not
say anything that can be defied by anyone. That experience
we have. Rather, we defy everyone: “Any questions?” Till
now, Krsna has given us protection. In big, big meetings in
big, big countries, after speaking I ask, “Any questions?”
BOB: Now, I have none.
SRILA PRABHUPADA: In London, we had—how many
days’ lectures in that—what is that? Conway Hall?
A DEVOTEE: Twelve days. Conway Hall.
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Conway Hall.
A DEVOTEE: Twelve days.
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yes. So after every meeting I was
asking, “Any questions?”
BOB: Did you get many questions?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Oh, yes. Many foolish questions.
[Everyone laughs.]
BOB: Let me ask one more question. What is being foolish?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: One having no knowledge is to be
considered foolish.
AN INDIAN GENTLEMAN: Prabhupada, I have one personal
question. Can I ask?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yes.
INDIAN GENTLEMAN: Some time ago in Calcutta they ob-
served a week—it was named “Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals Week.”
