Pancadravida: What if the person cannot chant sixteen rounds a day. He says, “I can’t…”

Prabhupada: Then he is not even a human being. He is a rascal, that’s all. He is not a human being. What to consider of talking about…? Don’t talk about him if he cannot chant sixteen rounds. He is not even a human. He’s an animal.

Mahamsa: In one of your purports, Prabhupada, you said Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Maharaja, he said a devotee is one who chant sixty-four rounds…

Prabhupada: Yes.

Mahamsa: …but you have given us only sixteen rounds.

Prabhupada: Sixteen, yes.

Mahamsa: So if we cannot do that, then…

Prabhupada: Then you are animal. That’s all. That is the only qualification. He’s not fit for becoming a human being.
