750616c Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Honolulu
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Prabhupāda: Puṇyo gandhaḥ pṛthivyāṁ ca (BG 7.9). As soon as such fragrance, one should remember Kṛṣṇa: "This is Kṛṣṇa." Puṇyo gandhaḥ pṛthivyāṁ ca. (break) Where is that scientist? Just like from the earth we are getting so many varieties of flavor and taste. The fruits are different taste, the flowers different fragrance, but wherefrom it is coming? From the earth. So why the scientists do not take all these things from the earth?
Bali-mardana: All they do is create smog. Prabhupāda: Eh? Bali-mardana: They create smog. Kṛṣṇa creates fragrant flowers. Prabhupāda: No, smog is also created by Kṛṣṇa. That's all right. I mean to say in the ground everything is there, the flavor. Siddha-svarūpa: So why they can't put it together? Prabhupāda: No, why they cannot, by scientific, chemical or physical way, they cannot take the flavor from the earth? Bali-mardana: They do make synthetic scents. Prabhupāda: No. Siddha-svarūpa: They come out synthetic, though; they do not smell the same. Bali-mardana: Not as good. Ambarīṣa: Actually they make perfumes from flowers. Prabhupāda: Flowers, yes. That is. . . But not you take some dirt and extract the flavor. Then I will know that you are scientist. (laughter)" |
