Prabhupāda: But the disease is not ordinary. It is always fatal. But by His especial mercy anything can be done. That is another thing.

Lost appetite means life finished. [pause] Tāvad tanu-bhṛtāṁ tvad upekṣitānām [SB 7.9.19]. If Kṛṣṇa neglect, then nobody can live, but if He likes that "He must live," anything can happen. That is possible.

Anityam asukhaṁ lokam imaṁ prāpya bhajasva mām [Bg 9.33]. Anityam asukhaṁ lokaṁ bhajasva mām. Otherwise failure. Everything is there in the Bhagavad-gītā.

Prabhupāda: [Transl. Is everything going on nicely?]

Bhagatjī: [Transl. Work is slow due to lack of cement.]

Bhagatjī: [Transl. They have stopped the supply of cement.] [break] [end]
