Bali-mardana: Even every child knows that "When I grow up I will have a different body,"...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bali-mardana: ...but they do not know.
Prabhupāda: These people, they do not understand. What kind of civilized men they are? Less than a child, and they are proud of their science. [break]
Devotee: They're trying to catch some fish.
