Prabhupāda: Why not translate from the very beginning, in your own way?

Devotee: Yes.

(long pause; background construction noises and talking)

Prabhupāda: This land is especially assembled for becoming New Navadvīpa. But the demons are (laughs) predominating. You gradually take over the charge from the demons.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: So much food, so much land, water. It should be completely spiritual. No material life. Simply we require to keep more cows to get directly fresh milk.

Govinda dāsī: Keep more cows?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. If there is food, and if there is milk, that is sufficient. No brain required . . . (indistinct) . . . and one glass milk, that is sufficient for the whole day.

Otherwise you would have been vegetarians according to Darwin's theory. No monkey is meat-eater. How you changed your habits if you are actual descendant from monkey? So how you have changed your habits in the matter of eating? Put some humorous question. What is the answer, that you are improved than the monkey?

Devotees: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Well, you have not improved. You cannot jump like monkey from one branch to another, so how you have improved? Simply by eating, you have improved? A monkey can keep dozens of wives. You cannot maintain even one wife. So how you have improved than the monkey? You have not improved. To maintain two-dozen wives it, is not a . . . (indistinct) . . . job. (laughter) (laughs)You must have potency. But you have no potency; you are impotent. You cannot maintain, you cannot satisfy even one wife. You are divorced.
