In my childhood I would not take medicine
Prabhupāda: Empirical policy was very good, provided it would have been done for Kṛṣṇa.
Then they could unite the whole world.
Brahmānanda: They had very good managing talent. Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
But the whole thing was planned for their own sense gratification.
Brahmānanda: Exploitation. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: If we ever had any kind of power like that,
and tried to do something like that, they would accuse that this is like the Crusades.
Prabhupāda: Now, Crusades, even... If they could expand the ideas of Christian, love of Godhead, that was nice.
But that was not the purpose. It was exploitation.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Even by force? Prabhupāda: Yes.
If by force, if you give some good medicine, that is good for him.
In my childhood I would not take medicine.
Exactly like this, now also. (laughter)
So I was given medicine by force in the spoon.
Two men will catch me, and my mother would take me on the lap and then force, and I shall take.
I never agreed to take any medicine.
Harikeśa: Should we do that now, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Then you'll kill me.
