1. We have to educate people gradually

    Devotee: It seems that people are so attached to sense gratification, if we tell them we want to stop all these facilities for drinking, cinema, women, like that, they become angry.

    Prabhupada: That is natural. If you give good instruction to a rascal, he’ll be angry. Murkhayopadeso hi prakopayati na santayi. Murkha, a rascal, if you give him good instruction… But give him practical: “Come here. Sit down. Take prasadam. Chant Hare Krsna. And help me by doing this.” In this way you have to… Just like a child. Child does not want to go to school, but some, by… Find out some means so that he’ll be induced. That is intelligence. He’ll be angry, naturally. He’s a rascal. He’ll be angry. That is not unnatural. Murkhayopadeso hi prakopayati na santayi… Just like a snake. You feed the snake with milk. It will increase the poison, that’s all. Practically attract. Practically attract. That is the Hare Krsna movement will practically attract the people. Hare Krsna, shall we go back?  If the world affairs are adjusted according to our Krsna conscious plan, there will be no difficulty for all the nations, all the countries. They will be happy. So we have to educate people gradually. And by our example, living example, you’ll have to attract.
