You have learned how to keep Vrndavana in your heart

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: Prabhupada asked one sannyasi to argue with him that there are oceans of milk and liquor as stated in the Bhagavatam. Pancadravida Swami said the Bhagavatam is myth. Srila Prabhupada replied, "To us your science is myth." Pancadravida Swami said, "But the findings of material science can be verified by many persons, whereas self-realized findings rest on the authority of a few." Prabhupada said, "Do we have to believe something just because many asses say so?" The ocean of liquor is manufactured by the same Personality who manufactures the saltwater ocean. Vibhuti-bhinnam people on those planets are able to be sustained by liquor in the ocean without going mad as we would. I said the Americans and Europeans are leaving Vrndavana now and are eager to return to preaching. His face expressed approval. Yes, preaching and book distribution is our business. There was discussion of leaving Vrndavana. Prabhupada said, "You have learned how to keep Vrndavana in your heart."
