Second, the best meal is when you don't have to cook or wash the dishes." "If you have so many stones in your pocket, you will go down. See this symbolically. If you believe and think that some crystal will save your life and change your destiny, what are we doing? We are believing that that stone is much stronger than Mahāprabhujī." The lecturer addresses the assembly, weaving personal anecdotes from his decades with Gurudev into teachings on discernment. He critiques an over-reliance on rituals, numbers, and external objects like crystals, emphasizing instead the supreme power of mantra, guru, and inner confidence.
