Sometime we used to give even the servants the same rice. So this man came. He complained, "Babu . . ." babu means master—"this rice is not suitable for us." That fine bāsmatī rice, he did not like it. Then the next day that red, big, big. Have you seen that?.

Prabhupāda: God has given different food for different person, different. You will find even food grains, rice—first-quality rice, second-quality rice. Why nature has produced? Because there are persons who cannot eat third-quality rice. So God has given: "Oh, here is first-class quality." They will eat little. And in India there are classes, they will eat so much. So for them that red rice is good. They do not like this fine bāsmatī. I have got practical experience. Sometime we used to give even the servants the same rice. So this man came. He complained, "Babu . . ." babu means master—"this rice is not suitable for us." That fine bāsmatī rice, he did not like it. Then the next day that red, big, big. Have you seen that? Japanese rice or some, Burmese rice. It is reddish and big and little hard, and he likes, "Very nice." So there are classes of men, classes of animals. I have got practical experience of all this. (break) . . . the big animals, the living entities. That He is providing everyone. Nobody is hungry. Eko yo bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13).

Cāru: So therefore it must be impossible to have a classless society such as the Communists are trying for.

Prabhupāda: No. Classless society is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. "Eat kṛṣṇa-prasādam." Everyone will like. That is classless: "Everyone chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, everyone eat kṛṣṇa-prasādam," life is successful. Classless society on the spiritual platform, not on the material platform. That is not possible. Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati, samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu ([[Vanisource:BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]). At that stage, samatā, equality, when one is brahma-bhūta, spiritualized. Otherwise not possible.
