Rāmeśvara: (break) ...by the devotees, is that in the spiritual world every day is feasting.
Prabhupāda: And there is no fasting. Fasting is recommended when a man is diseased. When he's in health, there is feasting. So spiritual world means health. Why there should be fasting?
Hari-śauri: And our disease is uncontrolled senses.
Prabhupāda: There is no sense agitation.
Hari-śauri: No, for us though, conditioned.
Prabhupāda: Yes, conditioned. Śūnyāyitaṁ jagat sarvam.
Rāmeśvara: (break) In Caitanya-caritāmṛta you wrote that the kalpa-vṛkṣa trees, they move, they are not stationary.
Prabhupāda: They are spiritual.
Rāmeśvara: Is this true for the plants and flowers?
Prabhupāda: Everything. Everything. They are spiritual, absolute. There is no condition. Because it is tree, it cannot move. That is condition.
Rāmeśvara: No condition. In the spiritual world, can trees and plants communicate? Here they have no means of communication, no talking.
Prabhupāda: Everything is possible.
Rāmeśvara: The animals can also understand and communicate.
Prabhupāda: You can milk the cows as many times as you like, and as much as you like.
Rāmeśvara: And talk with them.
Prabhupāda: Yes. There is no limit. That is spiritual world.
Hari-śauri: One thing that has always confused a lot of devotees is how is it possible to eat something in the spiritual world when that, the thing that you're eating is also spiritual?
Prabhupāda: There is no need of eating, but if they like, they can eat, enjoy.
Rāmeśvara: The taste, the flavor.
Devotee: But what happens to the thing that they're eating?
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Then you will see when you go there.
Devotees: Jaya Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: This is our disease. When we're talking of spiritual world, we are bringing material thoughts. To bring coal in Sheffield. What is called. Sheffield? There are many coal mines?
Hari-śauri: To bring coals to Newcastle.
Prabhupāda: Yes, like that. Why should you bring your material ideas to the spiritual world? There is no relativity. Everything absolute.
Rāmeśvara: There is no day or night. Everything is self-illuminating.
Prabhupāda: There is, but there is no need. What is this penguin? No, penguin? Literature?
Rāmeśvara: It's a bird found in the South Pole, penguin, lives in the south, bottom of the earth.
Prabhupāda: Bottom of the...?
Rāmeśvara: It's called Antarctica. Are there seasonal changes, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Rain and different seasonal...?
Prabhupāda: Everything is there, but there is no necessity. (pause) (break)
Prabhupāda: ...to the USA, many sahajiyās, they requested me, "Sir, why you are going? You are in Vṛndāvana. Continue your bhajana. What is the use of preaching?"
Rāmeśvara: What is the use of preaching?
Prabhupāda: Preaching. They advised me like that.
