<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- August 2, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm)|Room Conversation -- August 2, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm)]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Hari-śauri: Was lunch all right? Prasādam?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The potatoes and karelā should be fried.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Yes, it was fried. I fried it with the cover on.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, not in the beginning. Fry it, and if it is still hard, then...</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Then put the cover on. Oh, all right.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, not from beginning.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Oh, I made a mistake.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If you cover from the beginning, the water which is already there will be coming out. And the idea is the water should be taken away. Then it will be tasteful. Still, it was good.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Should I cook if I still have this fever tomorrow?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Right now I have a fever.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, don't cook.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: So if I have a fever I shouldn't cook for you? It's unhealthy for you? It won't bother me so much, but if it's unhealthy for you...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, I have no objection. But if you have got fever, why shall you? There are so many others. They can...</p>
<p>Harikeśa: I cannot tolerate being sick any more.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The body means sickness. The body itself is sickness.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: In illusion I think I come back here, I get healthy. In illusion I think if I leave India and come here I will get healthy. But I come here I also get sick. I go there I also get sick. (laughs) You seem to be much better now.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, little better. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break) ...thinking of how to utilize the whole land. The situation is very good, good prospect. I want that self-independent here, as far as possible. But you have got enough materials. With woods you can make cottages. Then land becomes clear, then utilize it.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Cows.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Cows, so many things. Free from all anxieties, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Life is meant for simply chanting. This should be the motto. But because we have got this body, we have to maintain it. That much. Otherwise, we have no ambition to become a very big man in this material world, enjoy it. This is all false, useless. He'll become a big man, and one day death comes and kicks him out. So these are all false attempts. It has no meaning. The meaningful life is, so long we live, become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious. And tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9|BG 4.9]]). That is wanted. Give facility to the people. Here is very nice arrangement. Now make plan how to utilize. You have got enough land. You can utilize for supplying the necessities of life.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: It's a very wonderful place.</p>
