Remembering Srila Prabhupada - Drops of nectar

[Guest guest]

Srila Prabhupada NectarAugust 17

 

As the gurukula boys dance at morning darsana, people

come and wave rupee notes over their heads and then

offer the money at Srila Prabhupada's feet.

After a morning rest, Srila Prabhupada had us all come

in again. He saw some candles manufactured by

devotees in Hawaii. "You American boys, you know how

to earn money; now you have learned how to spend it

for Krsna." Hearing about Ratha-yatra in Atlanta, he

declared, "A new civilization!"

Prabhupada commented, "In the mosquito, you can find

the same arrangement as an airplane. But see the

wonderful thing: not only the machine, but the pilot

also. Millions of planes are born without any

scientific knowledge. You produce just one and then

come and combat with God. Simply jugglery of words.

'We have produced this element, that element.'

Produce one mosquito! When I spoke at MIT

[Massachusetts Institute of Technology], I inquired,

'Where is that department where a dead man can be made

alive?'"

Balavanta told of one English scientist who had said

that all old men and women should be killed because

they were useless. "Yes," he said jokingly, "it is a

good proposal. They are useless. Either make them

dhira or better to die. And to make them dhira, these

farm projects are very nice. Civilization means to

become a gentleman. They do not know the meaning of

gentleman. Not hat and coat and inside a rogue."
