A dog is thinking, "I am very strong dog. I am this." And another man—"I am Englishman. I am . . ." So what is the difference? Mentality is the same. To think of this body that "I am this body," that is required to the dog, to the man.

Reporter (3): So, Śrīla Prabhupāda, is the purpose of human life to realize God? </p>

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the only purpose. Except this purpose, fulfilling, anything we are doing, that is animalism. As the dog is jumping, we are also jumping like that. It is dog's dancing, that's all. What is the difference? A dog is thinking, "I am very strong dog. I am this." And another man—"I am Englishman. I am . . ." So what is the difference? Mentality is the same. To think of this body that "I am this body," that is required to the dog, to the man. When one understands that "I am not this body; I am spirit soul," that is humanity. </p>

Reporter (3): So Śrīla Prabhupāda, have you realized God? </p>

Prabhupāda: What do you think? What is your opinion? </p>

Reporter (3): (laughs) I can't say. </p>

Prabhupāda: Then if I say: "Yes," then what you will understand? If you are not yourself expert, then even if I say: "Yes, I am God-realized," how you will take it as truth? If you do not know what is God realization, then how you can ask this question, and how you will be satisfied by the answer? You do not know. </p>

Reporter (3): Well, what is God realization? </p>

Prabhupāda: Then . . . then you were asking, "Are you God-realized?" If I say: "Yes," then how you'll believe it? You do not know what is God realization. Then why do you put this question? You do not know yourself. If I say: "Yes," how you'll understand that I am right? Therefore you should not put all these questions. It has no value. You do not know yourself what is God realization. Now, just like a medical man, if he asks another man, medical man, so if he says: "Yes," then medical man will understand him by technical terms whether he is medical man. So unless one is medical man, what is the use of asking another man, "Are you medical man?" unless you are prepared to take the answer whatever I give. Are you prepared? </p>

Reporter (3): Yes. </p> </div> </div> </div>
