Prabhupāda: (break) ...grow fruit, eh? (break) And if the fruit is green, it will never fall. Therefore when the fruits are grown, green, take it down. But that they do not know.
Bali Mardana: I don't know if they do.
Prabhupāda: Because they do not use coconut.
Sudāmā: No, they throw them away.
Bali Mardana: They are not intelligent.
Sudāmā: They don't know anything about dābs.
Bali Mardana: No?
Sudāmā: They think dābs is not good. Yes, karmīs don't like the taste.
Prabhupāda: The only good thing is meat, for them. Kadarya-bhakṣana kare. Nānā yoni sadā phire, :kadarya-bhakṣana kare
- karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa, kevala viṣera bhāṇḍa,
- amṛta baliyā yebā khāya
- nānā yoni sadā phire, kadarya-bhakṣaṇa kare
- tara janma adhaḥ paṭe jāya
Do you understand?
Devotee: I do not follow.
Nitāi: No. I recognize khāya. Khāya means eating, eats.
Prabhupāda: Eh? All abominable things. Not natural products. So, did you like that preparation?
Bali Mardana: Which one was that?
Prabhupāda: Yesterday.
Bali Mardana: Oh yes, it was very nice. You have taught them very well.
Prabhupāda: When is Ekādaśī?
Sudāmā: Saturday.
Prabhupāda: Harer nāma harer nāma (CC Adi 17.21).
Bali Mardana: Only thing I did not like was the bitter melon.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Bali Mardana: I did not like the bitter melon.
Prabhupāda: You did not like?
Bali Mardana: It is too bitter.
Prabhupāda: Oh, it was so nice. Eh?
Sudāmā: Do you like it, Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. It is very beneficial for the stomach and kidney.
Bali Mardana: It's like medicine.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Your wife also did not like?
Bali Mardana: Oh, she likes it.
Prabhupāda: (laughing) Then it is all right. You are American fools. And she is Japanese. Japanese are very intelligent. Yes. Extraordinarily. They're just like Bengalis. Yes. Because mostly they eat fish. Fish is very good thing. It has got sufficient quantity of phosphorus. So brain becomes nice—for this crude work, not for fine spiritual work.
Bali Mardana: No.
