Prabhupada: ...and therefore they are suffering.
Dr. Patel: Yes. [laughs]
This is Vaisnava aspiration. Bhavantam eva caran nirantarah: "Twenty-four hours simply carrying Your orders." And you can do it. But it is not possible; the mind is checking. Prasanta-nihsesa mano-rathantaram. Unless one's mind is fixed up, he cannot become servant of God. Kadaham aikantika-nitya-kiṅkara. "In this way, when I shall be absolutely Your servant and live very joyfully, that 'I have got my master'?" This is Yamunacarya's verse. [Stotra ratna 46]
Dr. Patel: Sanatha-jiva.
Prabhupada: They are all anatha-jivita. Yes. Everyone is independence and anatha. There is natha, but he'll not recognize. Anatha-jivita. Bhavantam eva caran nirantarah prasanta... So we are educating people how to become sanatha-jivitam. Live on your master's... Everyone is living at the cost of master, but foolishly... Ahaṅkara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate [Bg 3.27]. They are living at the cost of the master, but they will not accept. This is the disease.
[break] ...natural life, sanatha-jivitam. From the birth the child is sanatha, parents. Where is the possibility of living independently? That is not possible.
Prabhupada: Ramanujacarya.
Prabhupada: Yes, guru.
Yasomatinandana: Who was the originator of Sri-sampradaya?
Prabhupada: Hmm?
Yasomatinandana: Who was before...?
Yasomatinandana: Ramanujacarya is the biggest in line?
Prabhupada: Yes.
Indian man: [Gujarati] [dogs barking] [break]
Dr. Patel: ...dog and the other. That is the bulldog. Russian is defeated. [laughs]
Prabhupada: Who is defeated?
Dr. Patel: Other is English dog.
Prabhupada: He is Russian dog?
Dr. Patel: This one is Russian.
Brahmananda: That's German.
Dr. Patel: They have crossed the dog with the, what you call, the bull.
Brahmananda: German shepherd.
Dr. Patel: So Germany is defeated, no? That's the same...
Prabhupada: The bulldogs are English?
Dr. Patel: They are English. And Mr. Churchill is the representative of all the bulldogs. [break]
Prabhupada: ...thinking, "I am English dog," [laughter] and he is thinking, "I am..." And the man is also thinking like that. What is the difference?
Dr. Patel: Both are animals.
Prabhupada: Samskara.
Dr. Patel: All are born as animal.
Prabhupada: Samskarad bhaved dvijah.
Prabhupada: That samskara is now stopped; therefore all of them are animals. Yes. [break] The murgis [chickens], they are in the cowshed?
Dr. Patel: That man who is looking after cows, he must be keeping.
Prabhupada: For anda [eggs]?
Dr. Patel: For everything. They eat even the murgis. Nowadays this meat-eating has become very widespread in India. Even brahmanas are eating meat. I don't mean those who have gone to Europe or America and come back, but people who are staying here. Extremely common.
Prabhupada: That is the sign that in very near future there will be no food grains. That is the sign. There will be no rice, no wheat, main food grain.
Yasomatinandana: Already in Bombay it's about six, seven rupees per kilo, rice.
Prabhupada: Accha?
Dr. Patel: No, no. Now rice will be very much down. In Gujarat it is two rupees. I bought some land here and sown the rice. We are going to get about eight hundred or a thousand maunds of rice. And when we sown the field it was sixty rupees, rice. Today it is thirty-two rupees. It is coming down. The crop is very good everywhere, all over India, this year.
Prabhupada: Because there was sufficient rain.
Dr. Patel: Very good rain, yes. Gujarat will be more than self-sufficient. It is already the richest part of this country.
Prabhupada: Yes. [break]
Devotee (1): ...were saying that it is because of our chanting twenty-four hours a day that there is more rain this year.
Devotee in distance: Haribol!
Dr. Patel: Who is that? Old man?
Prabhupada: Yes. [Transl. He comes in the evening also.] [break] ...has died. His grandson is maintaining. [break]
Dr. Patel: ...yajnah karma-samudbhavah.
Prabhupada: Samacara.
Dr. Patel: But here, sir, parjanyad anna sambhavah. There, yajnad bhavati bhutani, yajnah karma-samudbhavah, karma brahmodbhava viddhi brahmaksara-samudbhavam. [Bg 3.15] That means karma as ordained by the scriptures, brahmodbhavam.
Dr. Patel: But if you don't do that, that becomes akarma.
Prabhupada: Vikarma.
Dr. Patel: Then it becomes akarma.
Prabhupada: Akarma.
Prabhupada: Yes. Knowledge. That is knowledge, that "I have to work for Visnu." That is knowledge.
Dr. Patel: Akarma means knowledge, he said.
Prabhupada: Yes. [aside:] Hare Krsna. [end]
