Prabhupāda: If the ultimate goal is to become animal, so that is artificial. So a human being desiring to become animal must be worse than animal, because animal has got some . . .
Marilyn: Has got some . . .
Prabhupāda: . . . routine work.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Because, ah . . .
Prabhupāda: Just like cats and dogs: they have sexual desire in certain period of the year. But a man, although he is trying to be animal, but he has no restriction. He has sexual desire anytime. Therefore he is worse than animal.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Man eats and kills everything.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: The animals kill just their own quota.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. So therefore, if a man wants to become animal, he becomes worse than animal. A tiger, a tiger eats meat, and he has got equipments in his body—it is called, nails, teeth—immediately pounce upon any animal and kills and eat. But a man cannot do that; but his teeth is different, he has no nails; therefore he has to kill animal in different way, by slaughterhouse. So he is worse than animal. You kill one animal for your eating purpose, this is one thing, but if you keep slaughterhouse for business, again more dangerous.
Therefore for a human being to try to become animal is worse than the animals and because . . . just like you are now grown up. If you imitate that, "I want to become child, so I enter anyone's house," the law will not allow you. And if you say that, "My philosophy is to become a child, therefore I enter this man's house," the law will say: "All right, first of all you'll be punished." (laughter) You cannot say that.
