I’ll teach you how to become truthful-they’ll laugh–SP

Prabhupāda: And if I teach that “I‘ll teach you how to become truthful,” they will laugh. People will say, “Can anyone exist nowadays, simply becoming truthful?” Then damaḥ, self-controlled. If I say, “Come here. I shall teach you how to control your senses,” he will laugh, that “What is this nonsense? We shall enjoy life and shall control senses?” This is the description of the first-class man, śamo damas titikṣāārjava, saralatā, simplicity. No one is prepared to become first-class man. They will laugh. These are all primitive ideas.
