I was reading in the Yoga Sutras about mystic powers, and one of the ways that one develops this power—to say something that then becomes manifest is by always telling the truth. One who becomes avowedly truthful then, first of all, one of the mystic powers is he's believed everywhere. It almost sounds like one follows the other, but he's indicating there's a kind of a mystic power, and there's a way in which such a person then develops the power from speech to be able to manifest things and so forth.

Well, another way to look at it is that although they're dealing with Brahma Tejas, it's kind of in a superficial way, because in this context, they're destroying things. And it's always easier to blow stuff up than it is to create something. Through the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, there are people who are dead spiritually, and then they come alive. I mean, if you wanted to argue it the other way, you could say like it is manifesting, because Prabhupāda came to the park, he chanted the mantra, and then all of a sudden, now there are tens of thousands of temples all over the world. Where did that come from? That's kind of hard to do. Even Brahma Tejās can't do that.
