Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 -- Guest (1): Swamiji, would you know whether people who joined the movement in their older years are more likely to stay on than those who join when they are younger? Prabhupada: Not necessarily. Younger, older, there is no restriction. Guest (1): It doesn’t appeal more to the young ones than to the older people? Prabhupada: No, any education, if you take young, youthtime, that is easily. For old man it is difficult, but he has to take so many years to forget what he has learned. (laughter) That is the difficulty. Young man, they are easily receptive. Old man thinks, “Why shall I give up my present understanding?” That is the difficulty. But if he gives up and takes to, sarva-dharmän parityajya [bg. 18.66], if he takes to it, then immediately, in a moment.
