750527 Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Honolulu
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"Prabhupāda: By Darwinism they become reduced to just animals, no better than monkeys.
Prabhupāda: Yes, it is meant for the monkeys, not for any sane gentleman. Sane gentleman will think that "I have become now . . . By evolution I have come to this stage, human being. What is next?" And that is sane. Gurukṛpā: That is a good argument. Prabhupāda: He will think, "What is next? Is it finished here?" The rascal says, "No, after finishing, everything is finished." What is this? If there is evolution—you have come to this stage—then what is the next stage? That is natural. That is answered in the Bhagavad-gītā. Yānti deva-vratā devān (BG 9.25). Now you can go to the moon planet if you try. Moon planet, Sun planet, Venus and so many, if you become serious. And you can go to God's planet, mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām. Now you select where will you will go. But there is future. But what is their theory? That after finishing this body, everything is finished. They do not believe in the next life. Bali-mardana: Therefore their life must be hopeless. Prabhupāda: Hopeless, yes." |
