Srila Prabhupada smashes rascal scientists

[Guest guest]

from a letter of TKG, August 14, 1977

 

His Divine Grace became very fired up, more than I have seen in many weeks,

and began to interrupt me every minute smashing the rascal scientists:

“Rascals. They say it is like this, it is like that. Why can they not

produce life? The sunshine is there, green plants are there. Rascals, why

can’t they produce life? Simply suggesting. Unless they can produce life

what is the point of talking? Empty sounds. The scientist himself is going

to die. He is under the control of some energy. But he is puffed up.

Educated rascals. Nothing more. They were rascals before education and now

after spending so much money of the government, they are still rascals. This

rascal questions my perception. It is practical perception. You talk

nonsense, you cannot do anything. This is our practical experience. Jugglery

of words. You can’t stop birth, old age, disease or death. What you can

do–simply talk. We are practical scientists. Not talkative nonsense. If

there is no God, then who is controlling you? You make a scheme and it is

spoiled. You have got good scientists, medicine, can you guarantee life? Why

men are dying? Your so-called knowledge has no value. Empty words. If you

are a scientist, why don't you give this child who is born without senses

new senses? We admit we cannot because we say God is all-powerful. But you

say you are powerful. So you do it without God. The onus is on you. Rascal.

You are simply producing empty sounds. Where is the chicken? The hen is

better scientist than you are. Within a week they produce another chicken.

Therefore you are less important than a chicken. God kicks on your mouth

with shoes. Nobel prize–another rascal has given you. If the witness is a

drunkard, then what is the use of his evidence? Just like there is some

incidence in the liquor shop. The proprietor has brought witnesses but they

are all drunkards. What is the value of such evidence? You talk of hired

wombs. There are millions of wombs without hiring. Who needs to hire? There

are uncivilized men but they have no scientific knowledge. Yet they are

producing children. You have progressed in eating and sleeping. Nothing

more. He eats by killing an animal in the jungle, and you eat by killing in

an organized slaughterhouse. He can be allowed to do it because he is not

civilized but you are not allowed to because you are supposed to be

civilized. You are God-less and you do not know. What you have gained? Your

mother and father have died. Why don't you save them? What is the value of

your education? And you will also die. Have you invented something that man

will not die? Then it would have value. You have given simply the faculty to

die earlier with your atomic energy. That is atomic energy.” In this way

Srila Prabhupada received the article of Dr. Kavoor and smashed him point by

point.
