like cows & asses

Imported quote 21525 I have read the aims and objects of the Institute and it is done very nicely. I am satisfied that you are properly understanding the philosophy. The analysis you have given in the section "What is the Bhaktivedanta Institute'', regarding the scientists, technologists, and other so-called authorities is most accurate. According to Bhagavatam, they are all asses and cows, sa eva gokhara.
(More...) Imported quote 22774 Svarūpa Damodara: But that is the defect of the scientists. They only see the body.
(More...) Prabhupada: Yes. That is their defect. Therefore, therefore asses, go-kharaḥ. That is defined. Anyone who takes the body as the self, he is a go-kharaḥ, animal. And that is our protest, that "You are animal; you are passing as very learned scholar, scientist." That we want to protest. We want to expose them, that they are cheating people. They have no perfect knowledge; still, they are passing as scientist and big men and... That is our protest.
(More...) Imported quote 23274 Prabhupada: That is life. This artificial life is no life. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has described this modern civilization of artificial life. So he says, jaḍa vidya saba, mayara vaibhava. He declares all these artificial way of life, advancement of material civilization, means advancement of influence of maya. Jaḍa vidya saba, mayara vaibhava. Expansion of the influence of maya. Then? What is the result? The result is anitya samsare, moha janamiya. Jaḍa vidya saba, mayara vaibhava, tomara bhajane badha. Maya means forgetfulness of God. This is maya. Maya means the more you forget Krsna, the more you are involved in maya. Daivi hy esa guna-mayi mama maya duratyaya [Bg 7.14].
