Prabhupada, Honolulu, May 29, 1976: […] A human being can become philosopher. So long I’m on the bodily concept of life, I’m in the line of cats and dogs. So how we can become philosopher? There is no question of. But they’re philosophizing, means bluffing, and similar men, he’s thinking, “I believe.” You believe or not believe, the law will go on.
So everyone is proposing “I believe.” That’s why the government law is there, that “If you do this, you’ll be punished like this.” That is government law. Suppose you have stolen something, committed theft, you must be punished for six months’ imprisonment. So you believe or not believe, the law will act. If you say in the court, “I believe,” what is the meaning of your belief?
There’s no question of belief. Law is law. Ignorance is no excuse. If you go in the court and if you’re punished, so if you say, “My lordship, I believe like this. I’ll not be punished. So you’re punishing me,” so that is no excuse. You believe or not believe, the law is law. So, similarly, these philosophers theorizing so many “I believe.”
So these things will not go. These things will not go. That is useless, simply waste of time. You must know there is God. How we can deny it? There is supreme power. I am being controlled every moment. Who wants to die? And who is forcing me to die? How he can deny the superior power? I do not want to become old man, and superior power forces me, “You must become old man.”
So, so long there is force behind you, you have to act according to that. Where is your so-called belief or independence? That is foolishness. That is foolishness. But they have no brain that “I am being kicked. I’m being enforced to do something, and still I’m thinking ‘independent,’ ‘I believe.’ ” What is this meaning of his belief? There is no question of. This is foolishness.
So our Krsna consciousness movement is just to educate man that you believe or not believe, it doesn’t matter. There is God. There is the proprietor, but He’s coming personally and He’s saying, bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva- loka-mahesvaram suhrdam sarva- bhutanam: [Bg. 5.29] “I am the proprietor, I am the enjoyer, and I am everyone’s friend.
If you want to be delivered from this miserable condition of material life, I am your best friend.”

SAT TILA EKADASI KI JAI,
this is what all the stupid people called mudhas can’t understand ah! you not believe in god but who are you to not believe in god? therefore we say or you believe or not it doesn’t make any difference god is there and will come to take you in the form of death at the right time stupid people forget about death and don’t do nothing to come alive again through the process of bhakti yoga but death mrityu maharaj never forget ,
actually this is the strangest thing in the material world everyone see people to die daily but they think i never die because they mixing everything spirit and matter by doing all in one and because the soul never die they think they never die too,
this is normal in SRI KRSNA because there is not difference for SRI KRSNA between HIS material and spiritual body we are they same spiritual quality of SRI KRSNA therefore the donkey just imitate SRI KRSNA pastimes in the material world by trying to become another supreme enjoyer lilayitena bhuvanani jayaty ajasram but almost everyone get a very rotten journey in this miserable world moghasa mogha karmano mogha jnana vicetasah they will get defeated life after life in everything jnana karma karma kanda etc…
