Prabhupada: How degraded they have become. There is no food, and they are busy for growing tobacco.

Harisauri: ...You say that's what they call a cash crop.

Prabhupada: Hm?

Harisauri: The other day.

Prabhupada: Now eat cash. So cash is also paper. So what is the use of laboring so hard? You eat paper. Paper is available.

Devotee (1): It is prohibited to buy gold at that temple.

Prabhupada: Hm?

Devotee: You cannot buy gold. Government has prohibited.

Prabhupada: Because you are rascal, your government is rascal-democracy. What is the government? Government means your replica. So why do you blame the government? You are fools, rascals; you send other fools and rascals and suffer consequence. [break] ...tea, growing tobacco, growing jute, and no grains. And grain for the animal, so that animal, as soon as it becomes fatty, send it to the slaughterhouse, and then finish business. Smoke, eat meat, drink, and be happy. So much land, but it is producing tobacco, which we are prohibiting, "No smoking." [break] Vegetable is utilized. (Hindi) These crops. (Hindi) [break] ...nityanam cetanas cetananam.

Indian man: (Hindi) ...effulgence.

Prabhupada: Yes. Prabha. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-aná¸a-koá¹­i [Bs. 5.40].

Indian man: What is meant, "halo" and "effulgence"? That word meaning, "halo"? Prabha?

Prabhupada: Halo is ksatta(?). Practically the same meaning. [break] ...field is green and this field is not green? If you take care every field will be green. [break] ...prasadam to the audience.

Devotee: Sumptuous.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Devotee: Full plate.

Prabhupada: Then accept program. [break] ...distribution of prasada, then we can go everywhere, whole day program, kirtana and distribution. So that is meant. And simply dry philosophy? What people will understand? (Hindi) (end)
