imperfect always

Imported quote 15868 It is said in the Srimad-Bhagavatam that our senses are imperfect, all of them. We cannot understand even the material world perfectly. You have seen so many planets and stars in the sky at night, but you do not know what they are. You do not even know what the moon planet is, though men have been trying for so many years to go there in sputniks. Even this one planet, Earth! We do not know what varieties there are even on this planet! If you go to the sea, to the sky, your perception is limited. Our knowledge is, therefore, always imperfect. On that we must agree. If we foolishly think that we have acquired all forms of knowledge and we have advanced in science, this is another foolishness. It is not possible.
(More...) Imported quote 16692 Prabhupada: This experimental knowledge is always imperfect. Because they are experimenting with imperfect senses, therefore they must be imperfect. Our source of knowledge is different. We do not depend on experimental knowledge.
(More...) Imported quote 22670 Prabhupada: Therefore they are against religion. But actually, if we show that we are producing, we are managing, we are educating, then we can counteract the Communist tendency. But they are seeing that, that escaping. They say, "They escape responsibility of worldly life, and they're indulging in some religious..." That is the tendency. All... Everywhere the government is complaining like that. Therefore they do not want to increase the number of temples, increase the number of devotees. They do not want. Because they say, "These are a class of idle men. They cannot do anything, and they take to this religious life." That is the tendency. They are feeling like that. But if you show that you are actually doing something ideal, then they will appreciate. Make a small unit of community and show ideal life, not idle life. Ideal life. Then this mis... That... Now in Bombay, they have refused, because they are under the impression that "their, these Europeans, have come here under some sentiment, and what is the use? They have taken some plea and rejected our..." [break] ...is there. As we are making counterpropaganda against maya, the maya is also very strong. She will also make propaganda against you, very strong. So unless you become very sincere devotee, daivi hy esa guna-mayi mama maya duratyaya [Bg 7.14], then it will not be possible to conquer over maya. You'll be succumbed. Hare Krsna.
