The Book Might make him a Celibate Monk\u2026
\nToday I was in Sydney central I stopped this young Chinese couple saying, \u201cWe\u2019re stopping all the good looking couples today and showing these books on meditation,\u201d They laughed and stopped happily. The guy said, \u201cOh meditation? My golf teacher said that he plays good golf because he meditates daily and he highly recommends it.\u201d
\nThe boy was into it right away. The girl wasn\u2019t into it but ended up she was the one who had the money so I was praying to Krishna to help. The guy asked her if she could give me a donation. She looked at me and said, \u201cI will pay for the book if you promise me that this book will change him.\u201d I said, \u201cIt will surely change him,\u2019 and asked, what\u2019s wrong with him anyways?\u201d She said, \u201cOh he looks at too many girls, I want him to become loyal to me.\u201d and she gave the donation. As I put the donation in my pocket I said, \u201cI don\u2019t know about the book making him loyal to you, but it might make him a celibate monk.\u201d They both laughed and she said, \u201cThat\u2019s even better.\u201d And they walked away happily with Srila Prabhupada\u2019s book \u201cTHE SCIENCE OF SELF REALIZATION\u201d.

The Book Might make him a Celibate Monk…
\nToday I was in Sydney central I stopped this young Chinese couple saying, “We’re stopping all the good looking couples today and showing these books on meditation,” They laughed and stopped happily. The guy said, “Oh meditation? My golf teacher said that he plays good golf because he meditates daily and he highly recommends it.”
\nThe boy was into it right away. The girl wasn’t into it but ended up she was the one who had the money so I was praying to Krishna to help. The guy asked her if she could give me a donation. She looked at me and said, “I will pay for the book if you promise me that this book will change him.” I said, “It will surely change him,’ and asked, what’s wrong with him anyways?” She said, “Oh he looks at too many girls, I want him to become loyal to me.” and she gave the donation. As I put the donation in my pocket I said, “I don’t know about the book making him loyal to you, but it might make him a celibate monk.” They both laughed and she said, “That’s even better.” And they walked away happily with Srila Prabhupada’s book “THE SCIENCE OF SELF REALIZATION”.
