Prabhupāda: Matter is also there, but matter means it is sometimes manifest, sometimes not. But life is always existing.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Unless the matter is touched by life, it cannot, er, it cannot...

Prabhupāda: Manifest. Just like this coat. It has not automatically come on my body. I have gathered it. Similarly, life is there, and it is gathering the matter to dress himself in a particular way. This is the varieties of life.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: We give that example that the difference between life and matter... We say that the difference is that the material living bodies... We live in a material body, but the material bodies, when a living entity stays inside a body, is fully automated, fully equipped.

Prabhupāda: Life is enjoying, or trying to enjoy, the matter. Matter is prakṛti, and the living entity is puruṣa. The chief puruṣa is Kṛṣṇa, and we are trying to imitate Kṛṣṇa to enjoy. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā. Living entity is superior prakṛti. Apareyam itas tu viddhi me prakṛtiṁ paraḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.5 (1972)|BG 7.5]]). It is a prakṛti, but we are trying to become puruṣa. This is struggle for existence. Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break) ...trying to live within the water. They are not trying?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh, yes. They have several plans to procure food from under the water, under the ocean. So they have all of these different schemes already started. Because the shortage of food on the surface of the earth, they say it's going to be very imminent in the coming future. So they have already started plans to make some food...

Prabhupāda: Another nonsense. (laughter) They are not producing food, they are producing motor tires, and still they will say "shortage." Just see. Now, in this city of Atlanta or any big, big city, who is producing food? Everyone is eating; nobody is producing.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: They will say it is produced by farmers.

Prabhupāda: Yes, but...

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Even their soap's called produce.

Prabhupāda: Farmers are producing, and you are eating, but you are not producing. Therefore gradually your food will be shortage. You are depending on others. The farmers, they do not produce food for human being; they produce food for the cows.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: For the cows?

Prabhupāda: Yes. You do not know this? These rascal produce for the animals, not for human.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: So the human beings are cows, then.

Prabhupāda: No, no.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They eat the cows.

Prabhupāda: They eat the cows.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh. (laughs)

Prabhupāda: In the Bengali there is a saying, tomara ye bhalo vasa, mussulmane murgi posaya. You know this? That "Your love is like the Muhammadans, keeping chickens and love him." That means "The chickens be fat, and I shall eat it." This is your love. They are keeping cows not for love, but for eating.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: No, I mean in the sense, farmers, that they produce the grains and vegetables. I was thinking in that line.

Prabhupāda: Oh. That is somewhere in India still. But here they keep cows not for protection—for eating. (break) ...chemical. Life is already there.
