Big church or king's royal palace, like that. Ordinary men, they used to live in cottage. That is especially in India. They did not . . . What is the use? If you are not going to live there . . . It is a common sense. But they have no idea. They are thinking, "We shall live forever in this house." And Kṛṣṇa says that "I will come as death and take away all your possession." That they cannot understand. They will think that "No, my possession is all. I will die. I will go to hell. Still, it is my possession." This is. He will go to hell; still, his possession. (laughs) This is intelligence.

Bali-mardana: Previously the only big building was the church.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Big church or king's royal palace, like that. Ordinary men, they used to live in cottage. That is especially in India. They did not . . . What is the use? If you are not going to live there . . . It is a common sense. But they have no idea. They are thinking, "We shall live forever in this house." And Kṛṣṇa says that "I will come as death and take away all your possession." That they cannot understand. They will think that "No, my possession is all. I will die. I will go to hell. Still, it is my possession." This is. He will go to hell; still, his possession. (laughs) This is intelligence.

Gurukṛpa: They are so dependent that if there is no electricity, where will they get water on the twentieth floor?

Prabhupāda: No, no, apart from that . . . There are so many inconveniences, there is no doubt about it. But he is thinking, "Now I have done this skyscraper building, it is my possession. And even though I go to hell, it will remain my possession." He does not believe next life, but he is thinking, "My generation." But if there is no next life, what is the question of generation? Who is coming to become your generation if there is no next life? Hmm? "My son, my grandson will . . ." But who is coming to be your . . . Because there is no next life, everything is finished with this body, then who is coming to be your son and who is coming to be your grandson? The common sense. But that's so dull, you cannot understand.
