Prabhupāda: why the hippies are lying on the street or in the park? Why? You give them relief. The whole Amsterdam city is full of hippies lying on the street and park. What you are doing for them? They are not poor men. They have got enough to eat. Their parents, father, grandfather, they can give. Why they are lying? What you can do? Go and pick them up. Make them nicely living. Why don't you do that? Talking nonsense only. What is their answer? Why they have become hippies? They are not . . . the Indians may be poverty-stricken, but they are not poverty-stricken. In England the whole British empire is there. The whole American government is there. And still, Western countries, they have got resources. They have means. They are not poor. Why your sons and grandsons are lying on the street? What is their answer? Huh? They are making plan that everyone would live materially very comfortably, but why these people, in spite of possessing material facilities, why they are lying on the street? (break) This is the real problem.
Satsvarūpa: We have to try to teach everyone.
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is our duty, because everyone is rascal, so we have to give them knowledge. The first basic principle, knowledge that, "You are not this body." And they will never agree. They will not take this knowledge. They will stick to this principle, "No, I am this body." "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am brahmin," "I am kṣatriya," "I am this," "I am that." They will stick to that. So as soon as they stick to this principle, they are animals. The dog is also thinking like that. If I say to a dog, "Mr. Dog, you are not this body; you are soul," what he will understand? The same position of the so-called human society. If I say that, "You are not American; you are not Roman; you are spirit soul," he will not agree. So what is the difference between dog and him? Is there any difference? The dog cannot understand. If I say: "My dear dog, you are not this body, you are spirit soul," he will not be able to understand. And if I say a gentleman, American or Indian or Roman that, "You are not this body," if he cannot understand, then where is the difference between the dog and the man?
Dhanañjaya: No difference.
