If we say, then people will accuse us: “This man is criticizing everyone.” But I know that. I know that.

All bogus humbug. Therefore I don’t make any compromise. You may come to me or not — I don’t care for it. But I cannot make any compromise with these bogus things.

My movement is for Krsna. So what Krsna says, that’s all right. If you like, then come; or go away, I don’t mind. I am solid. I have taken Krsna. That is solid program. And whatever little success has become possible, it is due to my this faith. I never showed any jugglery, created any gold or anything like that. I say my disciples, “Chant Hare Krsna,” that’s all. There is no jugglery. So, follow these rules and regulations, chant Hare Krsna. Bas.

Neither I have any such jugglery power, just like that Sai Baba does, some gold. People are so foolish. If little quantity of gold manufacturing, suppose he does so — he’s God. So if the gold manufacturing is the qualification of becoming God, why shall I accept this rascal, Sai Baba? Why not accept the bigger God, who has manufactured millions and millions of gold mines? It is quite reasonable, sensible. If gold manufacturing is the qualification of becoming God, so why this man? Why not that person who created so many gold mines? In this planet there are gold mines. And there are innumerable planets, there are many, many, many, many gold mines. So who has created?
