Medical service is to cure the material disease, not this temporary headache and stomach ache. There are so many medical services for these things, but where is the medical service for curing bhava-roga, material disease? That is wanted. Medical service does not give any guarantee that there will be no more disease. Our service is guarantee there will be no more birth, death, old age and disease. That is the difference.

Prabhupāda: . . . when he has gone so high, does it mean he has gone to sun planet, moon planet? (break) . . . that you have offered some room here?

Saurabha: No, well there was . . . on the floor space there is facility for a doctor, so he saw that on the plan, so he proposed that "Well, I'm a dentist, and I can give the devotees free service."

Prabhupāda: No, there will be no medical service in the building.

Saurabha: Ācchā.

Prabhupāda: Raat mein tum pehra deta hai. kya, to kaun deta hai? to kutta kyon bhokta hai? kutta kidhar se aata hai? usko dekhna chahiye. Aaye to usko maar ke bhaga do. (In the night do you patrol? Then who patrols? Why does the dog bark? Where does the dog come from? He must see—if the dog comes then hit it and chase it away.) These quarters there is no such building, huh? Our, this pattern?

Saurabha: No. Not in Bombay. Nowhere in Bombay.

Prabhupāda: (chuckling) That's very good.

Harikeśa: There will be after this, though.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Harikeśa: After this there will be . . .

Devotee: Imitation. (Prabhupāda laughs)

Lokanātha: There should not be any medical service in the building, new building, so what about there should be any other place on the land, or they should not . . .?

Prabhupāda: That we shall do conveniently. It is not very urgent. When there is spare room—then. Medical service is to cure the material disease, not this temporary headache and stomach ache. There are so many medical services for these things, but where is the medical service for curing bhava-roga, material disease? That is wanted. (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa. Medical service does not give any guarantee that there will be no more disease. Our service is guarantee there will be no more birth, death, old age and disease. That is the difference. (pause) Mauritius, I was suffering so much from dental pain. I never went to the dentist—I invented my medicine, and it cured me. (laughter)

Harikeśa: Now everybody else is using it here.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Harikeśa: I taught them all, and they're all using it now. Or they will all be using it.

Prabhupāda: They like it?

Harikeśa: Oh, yes.

Lokanātha: The best. Toothpaste.

Prabhupāda: The only defect is that all the ingredients are not very finely powdered. If it is very finely powdered, then it will be very nice.
