Jayadvaita Swami: Srila Prabhupada said, “Suppose a man is walking down the street and he sees a stick. Is it worth anything?” “No, Prabhupada, it’s not worth anything.” “And that man walks on and he sees some wire. Is it a very valuable thing?” “No, Prabhupada.” “And he goes on and he sees some gourd. Is it a very valuable thing?”
