<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- January 9, 1977, Bombay|Morning Walk -- January 9, 1977, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: I condemn everyone, that "You are all dogs and hogs." And United Nations a pack of dogs barking. That's a fact. And in Chicago I said, all women, "You cannot have freedom. You have got only thirty-four-ounce brain, and man has got sixty-four-ounce." I told them. So I became a subject of very great criticism.</p>
<p>Trivikrama: Women's liberation.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I denied, "No, you cannot have." I told them. One girl in the airship, she was seeing like (makes some gesture-laughter). I asked her, "Give me 7-Up." "It is locked now." So I frankly said that "No, no. You cannot have equal rights because your brain is thirty-four ounce." Actually that's a fact. Where is woman philosopher, mathematician, scientist? Not a single.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Apart from that, I mean, they are made for a particular mission.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: How they can have equal rights? Up to date in the history there is not a single woman who is a great scientist or great philosopher or great...</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Madame Curie was a...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All bogus. (laughter)</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: You are getting too harsh on them because...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. How can I give you equal rights, because your brain is less substance.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: We cannot degrade our mothers that way.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is not degrading. It is accepting the actual fact.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: These girls are misled, these American girls.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no history. There is no history. Just like Kunti's mother. She produced so many heroes, but she was not hero. She could produce heroes like Arjuna, like Bhima. But not that she becomes hero.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Mother can produce heroes...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's all right. Still, nobody will say that Kuntī is as good as Arjuna or Bhima.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: How can anybody say?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is... How you'll get the equal rights?</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: No woman smaller than Kuntī could have produced an Arjuna.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You can produce. That is another thing. A cook can produce foodstuff suitable for rich man, but that does not mean he is rich man.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: You argue. (laughs)</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Prabhupāda, you told one story about the animals having a meeting and trying to become free from the control of (indistinct).</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Our śāstras say (Sanskrit).</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Sanskrit) Everyone is (Sanskrit). That is according to his position. That does not mean equal. Kṛṣṇa Himself worshiped Sudāmā Vipra. That does not mean Sudāmā Vipra is as good as the Personality of Godhead. When Nārada was coming in Dvārakā, Kṛṣṇa immediately got down and... Nārada was smiling, "Just see the fun." But etiquette. Nārada never said that "I am better than Kṛṣṇa or equal to Kṛṣṇa." Never said.</p>
<p>Trivikrama: Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira the same.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Everyone. Everyone knew their position. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is addressed by Arjuna, "Acyuta, You promised to drive my chariot, therefore I'm asking You. Don't forget. You never deviate from Your promise." Acyuta. Senayor ubhayor madhye rathaṁ sthāpaya me 'cyuta ([[Vanisource:BG 1.21|BG 1.21]]). "Don't forget that You are Acyuta. Don't think that I am Your servant, I am ordering." He knows that "I am servant of Kṛṣṇa. I am ordering Him."</p>
