<div class="heading">There is no disease? Why you are anxious about the cancer, the big disease? India may be suffering from small disease, and because you are suffering from big disease, therefore you are big. "We... I am suffering from big disease." First of all become diseaseless, then talk of that India is suffering and you are not suffering. You are big, and you are suffering from big disease, that's all.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- July 25, 1975, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- July 25, 1975, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Rādhā-vallabha: They argue that this Vedic philosophy is coming from India, and in India there is so much disease and so many problems, but here, where we have our science, there is no disease.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because they are now fond of you. The Indians have become infected by you; therefore they are diseased. You are all diseased, and now you infected them, they have also become diseased.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: But why is there no disease here? Why is there no symptoms?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no disease? Why you are anxious about the cancer, the big disease? India may be suffering from small disease, and because you are suffering from big disease, therefore you are big. "We... I am suffering from big disease." First of all become diseaseless, then talk of that India is suffering and you are not suffering. You are big, and you are suffering from big disease, that's all. (break)</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: The wife of the president Ford, she has gotten cancer, and she had to have operation, very painful.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Big man, big disease, big pain.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Yes. The president could not protect his own wife.</p>
<p>Jayādvaita: The vice-president's also.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Vice-president?</p>
<p>Jayādvaita: His wife also.</p>
<p>Jagannātha-suta: Rockefeller.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Question is that India is small, he is suffering from malaria, and you are big; you are suffering from cancer. So a big man, big disease; a small man, small disease. But we wants the diseaseless. But you become proud: "Oh, we have got big disease. For treatment we pay the physician thousands of dollar. You pay eight annas. Therefore I am better. I am able to pay the physician millions of dollars. You cannot pay. Therefore I am big." (break)</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: The hospitals here have better facilities than in countries in India.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that's all right. It is simply proportion, five upon ten and five millions upon ten million. The proportion is the same. Because the figure is five million over ten million, that does not mean that the proportion is not the same. Put five upon ten or five million for ten mill..., the result is the same. (break)</p>
<p>Rādhā-vallabha: ...also create food grains like this with their chemicals. They could do it too.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So why don't you produce more and give to India?</p>
<p>Rādhā-vallabha: Well, it belongs to us.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why other parts, they will suffer for gain. That's nice. You have made scientific improvement. You produce more and distribute to the poor country. (break) we become advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and become advance in science and cooperate. That is our proposition. Andha-kañja-nyāya. One is blind; one is lame. So let the lame man be taken by the blind man. He can walk and they... Both their work will be nicely done. That I put this argument always. Andha-kañja-nyāya. You are blind by material advancement, and India has got spiritual advancement, but for want of money they cannot Move. So you take this lame man, you blind, on your shoulder, and cooperation will be good for the whole world. (end)</p>
