We don't require anybody's bread simply we prepare capatis
Prabhupada: Where is my overcoat? I thought you were bringing it. [indistinct]
Devotee: [indistinct]
Prabhupada: …takes care of the cow and gets the milk so out of the milk he makes ghee, so the richer section will pay this ghee, he gets some money and from the cow dung he gets fuel.
Devotee: Fuel.
Prabhupada: And while churning the ghee the buttermilk is used by him with capati it is very nice.
Devotee: Do you only eat capatis?
Prabhupada: Oh yes we don't require anybody's bread simply we prepare capatis and with the buttermilk with a little salt and chilli, oh it is very nice. So he has no problems.
Devotee: Just from one cow?
Prabhupada: Yes simply by keeping one cow his livelihood is [indistinct]. [break]
Karandhara: [indistinct] a little field [indistinct].
Prabhupada: The scientist, [indistinct]?
Karandhara: [indistinct] from a seed how does that happen?
Prabhupada: What is the chemical composition? Do it.
Prabhupada: They will find something which they cannot explain.
Devotee: Yes [laughs].
Prabhupada: The scientist means ultimately they will find something which they cannot explain.
Devotee: Yes.
Prabhupada: Then their responsibility is finished, "something is sleeping," that's all.
Prabhupada: What is the use of consulting, what is their thing from sleeping?
Karandhara: Yeah that's the question.
Prabhupada: This is their foolishness, you go to them they will manufacture some bombastic word and they will say, "now it is sleeping, [indistinct] stopped."
Devotees: [laughter]
Prabhupada: [indistinct]. Go to a doctor some disease he explains some fungus this that some so many… you cannot understand, you see? Neither he understands. Just like I was in the drug business. So instead of writing water they say aqua distilata, you see, so that the patient may not know.
Prabhupada: Because if the patient sees water [laughs] he'll say, "I am paying fees for water?-And this rascal is giving me."
Devotees: [laughter]
Prabhupada: Just like aqua distilata, this is not. Never allowed. That is their business.
Prabhupada: Then you accept Krsna. Why do you try to explain from their nonsense ideas? [laughter]
Prabhupada: Even up to millions of generations they will never be able to find out what is that. Simply waste their time and take money from the government and live very comfortably.
Devotees: [laughter]
Prabhupada: Nice payment. What do you think?
Prabhupada: [laughs] All rogues and thieves, yes. The whole world is a society of cheaters and cheated. To ordinary man also the so-called agitated-if you say, "Krsna is cause of the sea." Then, "Ah this is all imagination-science says like this." But he does not understand what is science.
Devotee: Yes.
Prabhupada: Yes…
[break] they will say, "yes we are trying in future we shall find out."
Devotee: Just a few more years.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Before finding out Krsna will take them away, to become void.
Devotee: [indistinct] [break].
Prabhupada: Yes. A seed like mustard seed contains a big banyan tree.
Devotee: Banyan tree in which form?
Prabhupada: Eh? You've seen banyan fruit, a fig?
Prabhupada: Very, very small seed and each seed contains a big tree. How it is potentially kept there? Let the scientists explain.
Devotee: Sesame seed?
Prabhupada: No it is smaller than sesame seeds. And such a big tree and millions of figs and within the figs millions of seeds, potency.
They are kept... potency. This is the potency of Krsna.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Ah yes, from insect flies come and from the flies birds come, this is the…
Karandhara: [indistinct]
Prabhupada: Everywhere there is living being and these rascals say that the moon planet there is no living being. How we can believe?
Devotee: There was a meeting a few weeks ago and they sent some space probe to Venus.
Prabhupada: Yes?
Devotee: And it's the Russians.
Prabhupada: What? First of all develop this moon they have left it.
Devotee: [laughs]
Prabhupada: Just see they are childish, childish, he is playing with something and then [indistinct].
Devotees: [laughter]
Prabhupada: Simply rascals! And the government is rascal and paying them.
Prabhupada: How this grass is coming? Nobody has given there seeds how it is coming? Unless there was seed. So within this stone cliff there was seed.
Devotee: Jaya.
Prabhupada: You see it is coming and no gardener is employed there and it is coming. Not only that, big big temple in India mosque.stone, as soon as there is little crack, vegetation coming.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Yes potential.
Devotee: Because the seed contains Krsna's potential energy. [indistinct]
Prabhupada: Yes. That is Krsna's energy one energy He has given that the material energy is given start then from material energy so many varieties of life is come out.
[break] vividhaiva sruyate, and it will come out so nicely, anyone will appreciate there is a big brain, svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca, one can appreciate in this plan there is a very planning brain.
Devotee: It's so beautiful, it is magical.
Prabhupada: Everything these are the Vedic, parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca [Svetasvatara Upanisad 6.8]. Svabhaviki, just like flower is coming, so the painting the color the display the symmetries is so nice that it requires a very nice painter, artist to draw that. But it is coming out by the potency of Krsna, svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca. The knowledge is working perfectly, everything, where is that science?
Prabhupada: But they are so rascals they will not agree.
Devotee: Otherwise it is in studying plants and flowers [indistinct].
Prabhupada: Neither do they know how many plants and flowers are there.
Prabhupada: But that is not difficult, mix with somebody... Something else then it becomes another thing composition, that is your chemistry. But originally how things are coming that is the question.
Devotee: Yes.
Prabhupada: Not that mixing, mixing anyone can do what is the necessity of a scientist any gardener can do. They are making experiments, what is this experiment? [indistinct]?
Simply bluff. What a child can do they are doing in the name of scientific research. What is the use? There are so many, 2 million varieties of plants, suppose by mixing them you make another two or three.
Devotees: [laughs]
Prabhupada: What is your credit? Just see the fun, they can simply bluff foolishly, that is all.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Childish just like children are prone to play, this thing that thing that thing that and ultimately breaker it. One sense childish that's all. [break] Done nothing real problem you cannot check death, you cannot check birth, you cannot check old age and you cannot check disease.
Prabhupada: Yes. They do not touch it.
Prabhupada: Because it is beyond their [indistinct]. What is difficult task, they have left it at that [laughs] and they are now mixing with one plant to another with a child can play.
Devotee: The government, I once asked the government that I'd like to do research about what happens after the time of death.
Prabhupada: Eh?
Devotee: But the government would give no money.
Prabhupada: Eh?
Devotee: I summoned once the government.
Prabhupada: Ah.
Devotee: I summoned... I want the research about what happens after the time of death.
Prabhupada: Ah.
Devotee: The government would not give anybody money for that research. They think, "What is this?" waste of time [indistinct].
Prabhupada: There is no need of research it is all explained in the Vedic literature.
Devotee: [laughs]
Prabhupada: It is not mercy it is punishment.
Prabhupada: Those envious persons they are put into such condition of life…
Prabhupada: …that they will never be able to understand what is God, that is punishment.
Prabhupada: That is explained in Bhagavad-gita and without knowing God he will have to transmigrate from different types of body sometimes like big tree, sometimes ant, sometimes dog, sometimes man, sometimes tiger this is required-fate. All these conditioned soul's within this material world they are that way suffering.
Prabhupada: Just like they are driving this car they are thinking, "oh I have got a car. This is maya. I've got a car I can..." Even he is meeting accident, he is still he is thinking, "oh yes I've got a good car." He does not know that the good car is for his death. Not only that they are killing so many animals on the road, ants and some other big animals they are killing at least small ants they are killing but they are becoming responsible for killing those small animals.
Devotee: [indistinct] hostility for ever escaping from the cycle of life [indistinct] pure devotee.
Prabhupada: That is mercy.
Devotee: Otherwise they would never be able to explain [indistinct]
Prabhupada: Yes, bound up by the laws of material nature. [indistinct]
Devotee: The doctors say that [indistinct]
Prabhupada: Eh?
Devotee: Sometimes infections the germs are attacking the body. [indistinct] various tiny germs are attacking the body.
Prabhupada: Ah.
Devotee: Is that really what is taking place-germs are attacking the body? [indistinct] [break]
Prabhupada: Ayurvedic principles, the germ is not attack. When you go... When you develop a certain type of disease the germs grows and disease becomes visible when your internal function are not in order. The example is just like if you make a place filthy you'll find so many germs in place.
Devotee: Yes.
Prabhupada: …not the germs are coming and make it filthy.
Prabhupada: Just like in a bed, bed bugs they do not come outside you keep your bed unclean and you perspire by contact the bugs will come.
Devotee: Yes.
Prabhupada: So the conclusion is germs do not attack but if you make the condition favorable the germs will grow. They do not know hygienic principles the doctors, they do not advise their patients hygienic principles. The germs are growing, they are seeing that, "oh the germs are infecting." That is another foolishness.
Devotee: The disease is due that nothing is clean?
Prabhupada: Ah yes. Therefore in the Western countries so many diseases.
Devotee: Yes.
Prabhupada: That is very very unclean. In India you won't find so many diseases. They take... Use sufficient water-three times taking bath, washing their cloth, washing the floor everything hygienic, cleaning it.
Devotee: Then the germs won't come there?
Prabhupada: No. As soon as you keep things unclean, you'll find cockroaches, this germ that germ. But if you keep very clean everything, flies cockroaches they will not come.
[Car doors closing]
Devotee: Dogs.
Prabhupada: But they keep the dog on the bed.
Devotee: Yeah.
Prabhupada: Their best friend [laughs].
Prabhupada: No.
Prabhupada: Yes the dog cannot enter in the house, [indistinct], what to speak of... he must [indistinct].
Prabhupada: Yes they will say something because you have [indistinct], to satisfy you, and you have to be satisfied because you cannot [indistinct].
Devotee: If you ask them they say they do not know, we do not have the patience.
Prabhupada: Yes. To pay the doctors and hospital care, hospitalisation. Because they know that their science will not be able to keep them healthy, in spite of all talks by the scientists he has to be assured of his treatment by paying money.
Prabhupada: At least they think like that. If money is my [indistinct] if you have got money then you have everything. Money means a few scrap paper that's all. That is also another cheating, I am paying you a $100 it is just scraps of paper [indistinct], "oh I've got big amount [indistinct]" but that is not dollar that's paper. And it is understood that in exchange of this paper you can get gold but you'll never get gold. That is a permanent cheating.
Devotee: Now the government admits that they will not have enough gold to cover the amount of money. It used to be that they had to keep a reserved [indistinct] they said they had it reserved [indistinct].
Prabhupada: This way?
Devotee: Enough gold [indistinct].
Prabhupada: Is it not?
Devotee: Either we go to Venice or what is that Regent Street. Regent Street?
Prabhupada: Oh yes you can Kardiya… Cardiff.
Devotee: [indistinct]?
Prabhupada: I think that will be shorter.
Devotee: Oh yes. [end]
