Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 HARI AUM Even with reservations on the 'dvaita' point of view, the following conversation has some interesting snippets: Dr. Benford: What do you think about the moon mission? Srila Prabhupada: That is also sleeping. You have spent so much money to go there and sleep, that’s all. Otherwise, what can you do there? Dr. Benford: You can go there and learn. Srila Prabhupada: You go there and sleep, that’s all. Sleeping. You are spending billions and getting nothing in return. Dr. Benford: It’s worth more than that. Srila Prabhupada: No, nothing more, because these four principles–eating, sleeping, mating, and defending–are the background. If you have no knowledge beyond this body, you cannot go beyond this bodily jurisdiction. You may have very gorgeous, polished bodily knowledge, but your whole range of activities is within these four principles of eating, sleeping, mating, and defending. This knowledge is prevalent among the lower animals, also. They know how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sexual intercourse, and how to defend. Dr. Benford: But they don’t know anything about nuclear physics!
