	'''Mr. Rao:''' Others will follow. So I must thank you for coming. I request you, if you have little time, you could sit there and listen to Swāmījī—other people also are coming—and have little ''prasādam'' and go, see, after having come to my humble house, see my ''pūjā'' room also, how humbly I keep that ''pūjā'' room, so that we learn, we must learn to keep up our religion. When we become educated, when we become ministers, ambassadors, we forget our . . . when we become big people, very big people, our eyes jump up and go to the head here. When we become rich people and money people—who is speaking to you? Not a rich man. A man who comes from a humble family, the man who was born in a tiled-roofed house.

	So I have never changed. My . . . among my friends, you have seen a friends sitting here, and also the village which I come from, he has seen where I am staying and where I am staying now. But I am not changed. But at the same time I have not forgotten my religion. I have not changed my faith. Many people say <span style="color:#~~ff9933~~">Kya saab ap khate pite . . .</span> <span style="color:#128807">(Sir, what will you eat and drink . . .)</span> you must know that I drink. Am I a drunkard? Am I a trouble-maker? No. Sometimes in the society it becomes a necessity. I am not a ''sādhu'', I am not a ''sannyāsī'', I have not renounced the world. Many of you have drunk with me. Some of you at least. So what? Am I a sinner, if I remember my religion, if I pray my God, if I pray my Lord? No. I do not dupe anybody, do not cheat anybody, do not harm anybody, do not hurt anybody. That's what I have been following. That is why I think my God has been very, very kind to me. That is why, because of Lord Kṛṣṇa, all of you have been very kind to me throughout . . . can you imagine a poor man born in a poor family winning four elections without money? People spend ''lakhs''. Lord knows in 1952 how much money have I spent. Two thousand rupees, '58. Fifty-seven maybe twelve thousand rupees. Sixty-two maybe about forty to forty-five thousand. Of course, '67 was expensive for me. I had to sell away my humble house.		So I have never changed.

	So this is all faith. Faith in God, faith in country, that is patriotism. Without patriotism we talk and yap a lot: "What do you think of this? What do you think of this?" My country is my country, no other country. This is my country. That is ''deśa-bhakti''. All people say that, you know, "My religion is my religion, that is my ''bhakti''. But my country comes first." That is known as patriotism. In Urdu it is said, (Urdu): "We will die for the nation one day." If you remember, my friends, I was one of those in 1962 offered to join as a soldier against Chinese aggression. Not only offered; I have submitted my resignation to Jawaharlal Nehru, which was not accepted because of certain problems at that time. Because of my age, because of my age, and also the Bilateral Talks, Colombo Proposals came. Never mind. That should be the spirit among us, and particularly youngsters. Particularly youngsters. They must not forget their religion, they must not forget their country. So anyway, leaders come and go, we all come and go. I am not a leader, please don't put me as a leader. I am one of the humblest workers in this country. I am coming from the humblest section of the society also. The leaders come.<span style="color:#~~ff9933~~">Dara raha na Sikander,</span> <span style="color:#128807">(Neither Dara stayed nor Sikander,)</span> If you want to translate you translate, <span style="color:#~~ff9933~~">Dara raha na sikander, is takhte zameen pe lakhon aye chale gaye.</span> <span style="color:#128807">(Neither Dara stayed nor Sikander, millions came on this land and left.)</span> But the country remains. We come and go, the posts come and go, but we remain.		So this is all faith. Faith in God, faith in country, that is patriotism. Without patriotism we talk and yap a lot: "What do you think of this?

We come and go, the posts come and go, but we remain.

	So anyway, I hope you . . . I bored you, no doubt. I hope you'll understand me, and with the permission of Swāmījī I took the liberty of addressing you one time, thanking you. At any time, no only this time, Swāmījī has come next time, maybe one of my colleagues, an ambassador of some country might come, and we will have a grand party here. And also a drinking party. Nothing wrong about it. (laughter) No, I am making it very, very clear to my friends, because they differentiate. They say "Why, why can't . . ." (break) (end)		So anyway, I hope you . . .
