Where is that miśri? No, we have to fight. Devise means, ways, how to fight. That's all. But try to prove that they have no brain. Actually that is the fact. Nobody has brain, especially in this age.

Otherwise how can I say that you are rascal if I am in the same category? So that I was explaining in the morning: "Where is your brain?" And mūḍha is one who has no brain. (Bengali) (break) Wherefrom consciousness comes? Where is consciousness? What is that consciousness? You have to explain. Otherwise . . .
