Minimum Words, Maximum Solution

The Second Morning Walk:
April 19, 1973

Recorded on April 19, 1973,
In Cheviot Hills Park, Los Angeles

Śrīla Prabhupāda is accompanied by Dr. Singh, Karandhara dāsa adhikārī, Brahmānanda Svāmī and other students.

MINIMUM WORDS, MAXIMUM SOLUTION

Śrīla Prabhupāda. The individual soul is never lost. He does not die, nor is he born. He simply changes from one body to another, just as one changes garments. This is perfect science.

Dr. Singh. But why don’t scientists accept this?

Śrīla Prabhupāda. They are not nice men. They are rascals. They are not even gentlemen. Under appropriate circumstances, gentlemen will have some shyness or some shame. But these men are shameless. They cannot properly answer our challenges, yet they shamelessly claim that they are scientists and that they will create life. They are not even gentlemen. At least I regard them like that. A gentleman will be ashamed to speak nonsense.

Dr. Singh. They do not think before they speak.

Śrīla Prabhupāda. That means that they are not human beings. A human being thinks twice before saying anything. Kṛṣṇa makes the presence of life within the body so easy to understand. He says:

dehino ’smin yathā dehe
kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
tathā dehāntara-prāptir
dhīras tatra na muhyati

[“As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.” (Bg. 2.13)] In these two lines, Kṛṣṇa solves the whole biological problem. That is knowledge. Minimum words, maximum solution. Volumes of books expounding nonsense have no meaning. Materialistic scientists are like croaking frogs: ka-ka-ka, ka-ka-ka. [Śrīla Prabhupāda imitates the sound of a croaking frog, and the others laugh.] The frogs are thinking, “Oh, we are talking very nicely,” but the result is that the snake finds them and says, “Oh, here is a nice frog!” [Śrīla Prabhupāda imitates the sound of a snake eating a frog.] Bup! Finished. When death comes, everything is finished. The materialistic scientists are croaking—ka-ka-ka—but when death comes, their scientific industry is finished, and they become dogs, cats or something like that.

LIFE COMES FROM LIFE

  1. pamho agtacbsp, things never go as we want even for a pure devotee as SRILA PRABHUPADA as we can see from f-iskcon which is a enemy for ISKCON BBT SRILA PRABHUPADA KI JAY,our guru maharaj took many lives to become a real guru then f-iskcon kill HIM and now HIS MISSION, is true that SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU IS VERY MERCIFUL but I think the worse is going to happen soon to them because it’s too much offensive what they are still doing after 50 years , so we hope F-ISKCON WILL BACK TO OUR GURU MAHARAJ SOON,many calamities could be avoid if f-iskcon was not there to make more trouble by disobedience to SRILA PRABHUPADA, after all it’s just ignorance through the sabtle and gross body and although we change many bodies we still doing the same mistakes because we are all lost in this world without knowing our spiritual body (svarupa murti ) and still want to do the guru anyway time will tell them what strange destination all these wretches will get for slowing down the spiritual mission of SSGG. agtacbsp ys haribol

  2. The Seventh Canto, Seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “What Prahlāda Learned in the Womb.” TEXT 21

    To dissipate the doubts of his class friends, the sons of the demons, Prahlāda Mahārāja states how, within the womb of his mother, he had heard from the mouth of Nārada Muni, who had instructed him in bhāgavata-dharma. He says:

    “An expert geologist can understand where there is gold and by various processes can extract it from the gold ore. Similarly, a spiritually advanced person can understand how the spiritual particle exists within the body, and thus by cultivating spiritual knowledge he can attain perfection in spiritual life. However, as one who is not expert cannot understand where there is gold, a foolish person who has not cultivated spiritual knowledge cannot understand how the spirit exists within the body.”

    *

    …As an expert mineralogist or geologist can understand where there is gold and can then invest his money to dig there and chemically separate the gold from the ore, an expert spiritualist can understand where the soul is within matter. One who has not been trained cannot distinguish between gold and stone. Similarly, fools and rascals who have not learned from an expert spiritual master what is soul and what is matter cannot understand the existence of the soul within the body…

  3. pamho agtacbsp, one must be disgusting of this material world to be sure to not coming back to this material world which is like a huge toilet where everyone come to make his stinky stools and SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR SAID :ALMOST EVERYONE COME IN THIS STINKY WORLD TO EAT AND PASS STOOLS and maya is everywhere even in temples because she play in the own house and SRILA PRABHUPADA SAID: TELL ME A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NOT MAYA AND I GO THERE IMMEDIATELY , our real business is with the holy name and more trouble one get and more serious one become to become dear to SRI KRSNA by repentance of our betrayal to HIM because this is the worse age of worse people and the only safe place is the SRI HARINAM ONLY THERE WE CAN GET PEACE OF MIND.
