1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

The upper portion of the sugarcane will be fodder for the cows.

Morning Walk and Room Conversation -- December 7, 1976, Hyderabad:

Devotee (4): The government is making propaganda for hard work, so they should come, and with hard work they can make nice temple from these rocks.

Prabhupāda: You show the example. They will see. (break) ...like it, eh? These boys?

Devotee (4): Oh, yes, very much.

Prabhupāda: Do you like it?

Boy (1): Yes, sir.

Prabhupāda: You?

Boy (2): Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Devotee: Not only the small boys. Some of the bigger boys, they also like.

Prabhupāda: No, it is very nice. They'll live.

Mahāṁśa: They surveyed this whole hundred acres around here, and they said anywhere in this hundred acres, you'll get water. You can dig and you can get water. This hundred acres has good underground water supply.

Prabhupāda: Oh.

Mahāṁśa: And the land is very good, this soil here, this black soil, very good for cotton. It is called black cotton soil.

Prabhupāda: So you grow. Cotton requires water?

Mahāṁśa: It requires water. We have to have at least...

Prabhupāda: Paddy and...

Devotee (4): Not as much as paddy.

Mahāṁśa: Not as much as paddy. And sugarcane can grow very well on this also.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Immediately grow sugarcane.

Mahāṁśa: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Because the upper portion of the sugarcane will be fodder for the cows. (break)

Devotee: ...take great care in what they feed their cows. Even though the grasses may be good, they grow alfalfa. They make a special feed for them.

Prabhupāda: Hmm, they take care because they want to eat.

Mahāṁśa: So the whole taking care is for their own stomach.

Prabhupāda: Yes, for cutting the throat, that's all. There is a Bengali word, toma ya bhalo asa mussulmanera muragī pusa(?): "Your love is like tending the roast (roost?) by the Muhammadans." What is called? Roast? They keep...

Haṁsadūta: "Like a Muhammadan loves his chicken."

Prabhupāda: Yes. So long it is taken very much care, and then, when it is fatty, cut throat. In this material world the love is like that: for one's own interest, not for the lover's interest.

Hari-śauri: Not love, lust.

Prabhupāda: Hmm, yes, it is lust.

Devotee (5): Śrīla Prabhupāda, there are many of these great trees, but the government takes it over. They take dead grass and make liquor out of that. No one is allowed to cut them.

Mahāṁśa: We can get permission.

Prabhupāda: No, we can use for our own purpose.

Devotee (5): Can we drink date rāsa? We are allowed to drink date rāsa?

Prabhupāda: Date rāsa? Oh, yes. Why not? Very good.

Mahāṁśa: This thing?

Prabhupāda: Date rāsa. That is good.

Mahāṁśa: Nira. This is not date like Māyāpur. This is a different kind of tree. They make toddy out of this.

Prabhupāda: No, that date rāsa, if you keep, it becomes toddy.

Mahāṁśa: Accha.
