Ok, I tried... Hm, what a great discovery -

people, I'm not dumb!

 

Actually, it was too simple test. But I liked that question:

'How many birth days does the average man have?'

First I thought that it's a kind of atheistic question,

but then I realized that the life is actuallly ONE,

'cause jiva is eternally alive.

 

Still I have one unanswered question:

What does it all has to do with Varnasrama Development and

ISKCON Social and Economic Development?

The mind wants to categorize to make it's work simple. Marriage is

maya, sannyasi is transcendent, etc.

 

Try your mind at this.

It demonstrates that the seemingly obvious answer is not always the

correct answer. Sannyasis are transendental and householders aren't has

been the obvious answer we have heard in countless Srimad Bhagavatam

classes, but experience is showing us that that is not necessarily so.
