Therefore ordinary person must be physically engaged. That is not physical,

that is also transcendental. Always busy in some business of Krsna

consciousness. That is wanted. Not that, "Oh, I have become a great scholar

and I have now learned how to become a great Vaisnava. I chant sixty-four

rounds, and think of my wife somewhere, and then good-bye to Govindaji and

leave Vrndavana." These rascaldom do not follow. Govindaji drives such

rascals away from Vrndavana. So Vrndavana, one who is living in Vrndavana,

he must be very anxious how to spread the glories of Vrndavana-candra all

over the world. That is wanted. Not that Vrndavana-candra is my private

property and I sit down in a place and lick up. No, that is not wanted. That

is not wanted. That is condemned by my Guru Maharaja.

So mana tumi kisera vaisnava. He says, "What kind of Vaisnava, rascal, you

are." Nirjanera ghare pratisthara tare. "Simply for cheap adoration you are

living in a secluded place." Tava hari-nama kevala kaitava. Your chanting of

so-called Hare Krsna mantra is simply cheating.
