So we are advancing in science, but at the same time, the so-called science,

at the same time we are creating many disadvantages. Many disadvantages.

>From practical experience I say that when I came to your country... In India

it is very difficult to get a telephone. You have to wait in the waiting

list at least for two years or you have to bribe the authorities, say, five

thousand, two thousand, like that. So when I got this facility of

telephone... Because as soon as I deposited forty dollars... Forty dollars?

The next day the telephone was in my room. So I was very glad. But after

getting my telephone, I was disturbed always. (laughter) Some of my students

asking, phoning me, (telephone sound) cling, cling, and "Swamiji, how you

are feeling?" At twelve o'clock at night. (laughter). Yes. So I asked him,

it is the time to inquire? I am very sorry. Not only one, I become so much

disturbed. Then I asked them, get out this telephone.
