Brahmānanda: Yaśomatīnandana has a book, and he would like to read a few sentences from that book.
Prabhupāda: Which is that book?
Brahmānanda: Hmm?
Prabhupāda: What is that book?
Brahmānanda: Well, we thought that we could play a game that Dr. Patel, he could identify who has written this book.
Prabhupāda: What is that book?
Dr. Patel: Please don't allow him to read. (laughter) Let us talk about Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
Brahmānanda: This is Bhagavad-gītā.
Dr. Patel: You see, anything which is read out of context is no reading. You must read it reference to context. If you read some nonsense somebody must have spoken or written, he's not all what he has written or spoken. So if Yaśomatīnandana reads that and Prabhupādajī talks something about the spirituality, not this moment . . . please. Because time is short and heart is long, and our heart is beating like muffled drums, so let us fulfill ourself before we die.
Prabhupāda: No, you have got your injection. (laughter)
Dr. Patel: That is not for me. I give only . . . (laughs) His wife was brought yesterday to me, Yaśodānandana, and she told me that she was operated in the stomach for some growth. "What sort of growth was that? Was it malignant?" And she's suffering. Why don't you send her back or get the reports from the American hospital, what operation was performed on her, and we'll get out? Or she'll suffer all the time. That is the story of injection. Now let us talk . . . (indistinct) . . . Until you realize God, then you are spirit. Up to then, you are always . . .
Prabhupāda: "I am Indian." "I am American."
Dr. Patel: More important: "I am a human being and others are lower animals." That is the greatest abhimana.
Prabhupāda: No, that is also.
Dr. Patel: Abhimana.
Prabhupāda: That is also, what is called, false ego. Human being or animal, they are not different, because the body is made of the same ingredient. If you manufacture a dog like a dog, like a man, what is the difference? The ingredient is the same: earth.
Dr. Patel: Five bhūtas, pañca-bhūta.
