Prabhupada, October 12, 1975, Durban: Hospitals, there are many, but real hospitals…to cure the material disease, there is no hospital. There are hundreds and thousands of hospitals for curing the disease of the body, but there is no hospital to cure the disease of the soul. That is the defect. So we are opening hospital for curing the disease of the soul.

They have no information about the soul throughout the whole world. Even so-called religious organizations, they have no information about the soul. They go to religious ceremonies for material profit. They do not know what is the necessity of the soul and what is the disease of the soul. They do not know. Nabhijanati mam ebhyah param avyayam. What is the goal of life, these people, they do not know, mudhas.

Mudha means rascals, gadha. They do not know what is the goal of life. They take calculation of the duration of life, that fifty, sixty, or hundred years. That’s all. Beyond this, after this, they do not know. Yes. That is the defect.

Now, in the Bhagavad-gita it is said that this temporary attempt to become happy—antavanta phalam tesam — it will end with the end of the body. But they do not know beyond this. Therefore alpam-medhasam, they are less intelligent. Just like a child playing. He likes to play and does not go to school. So do you think that is all right?

Indian man: No.
