How can a man's intelligence be rectified?

Pusta Krsna: How can a man's intelligence be rectified? If intelligence is the...

Prabhupada: This hari-kirtana, chant. Somehow or other, induce them to chant Hare Krsna. Everything all right. By flattering, by soliciting, by giving him prasada, by elevating him, that "You are the best man in the world" -- in this way inducing him, "Please chant Hare Krsna," then he will be rectified. This is Hare Krsna movement. There is no other way. He is ruined, and the more the Kali-yuga advances, he becomes more and more ruined. All other attempts will failure. Don't you see in your country the LSD-addicted hippies? Government spends so much money to rectify them-failure. But as soon as they come to our camp, immediately success. How it is possible?

Pusta Krsna: By this chanting...

Prabhupada: That is the amazement. That is the amazement of Professor Judah and all others, that "How it is happening? There is something in the Hare Krsna movement."

Pusta Krsna: This is good propaganda with the governments also. This is good way to get the governments to support our movement more and more, isn't it?

Prabhupada: The government never objected to our movement. Never. I never met any objection from government side. Neither even Christian priestly side. I never met any objection. They understand that "He is doing something."

Pusta Krsna: Only from your Godbrothers. (laughter)
