1. If God says “You become a dog”

    Reporter: Is this something where we can sort of experience death while we are still alive?
    Prabhupada: Alive, we have been given chance to understand God. But if you don't understand, then next life you become a dog.
    Reporter: A dog?
    Prabhupada: Yes. [laughter]
    Reporter: Why a dog?
    Prabhupada: Why not? [laughter] Suppose if God says that "You become a dog,"
    can you check it?
