My question is that, you know, which strategy works or doesn’t work? We come to know at the end when we see whether it’s successful or not. But how do we start then when we’re approaching people what do we do? No, it’s not necessary like, the world is not digital. It is analog.
You see, it’s not that, unless we are very confrontational, it is not that in the first relationship the whole relationship is going to end. No, no, in the first interaction, it’s not that the relationship is going to end. Nor is it in the first interaction that the person is immediately going to… Nobody will do that also.
Very unlikely. So, it’s, first interaction is just one interaction which shape, which shapes the tone of future interactions. So, in that we can observe somebody scientific, to the present of scientific aspects.
Somebody is more attracted to culture, we can tell about music. Somebody is more attracted to philosophy, we can tell them about how we are going to teach this culture. So, it’s, it’s basically testing the past.
And then we find out what is the, basically, it’s like, we are, we and our cultural function is like a circle. They and their conceptions are like a circle. So, there is much that is non-intercepting.
And our goal is gradually we want them to change their conceptions. We want them to change their conceptions. Get rid of their misconceptions and get their correct understanding.
But, we have to find out what is the overlap. What is the overlap? And we should increase our relationship on that area of overlap. And then, from that area of overlap, we develop a relationship and gradually bring them towards the correct understanding.
So, when I say we should find a strategy that works, that means we basically try to find out the area of overlap. And using that area of overlap, we present Krishna consciousness accordingly. And as we observe, we say, okay, now this, when I spoke this, this made sense to this person.
I spoke this, he became very reserved, very apprehensive. Then, okay, this idea will carry on. So, it’s reciprocal.
Whatever we speak, can we see what is the effect? And gradually, we focus on the area that is common and expand our relationship with them through that area. And gradually elevate them towards correct understanding.
