750720b Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in San Francisco
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Bahulāśva: . . .gentleman first has to understand that he's not the body. That psychologist gentleman has to understand he's not the body first.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. So, what did he say? Bahulāśva: Yeah, he believes that there is soul and that you're not the body, and he's hoping that he'll be able to become more serious about studying Bhagavad-gītā to understand that more clearly. Prabhupāda: Yes. Let him prove there is soul. That will be great service to the Western world, yes, if a scientist and philosopher, psychologist, proves that "Here is soul." Bahulāśva: Śrīla Prabhupāda, how should they set out to prove it, though? We've proved it by giving scriptural evidence. But how should a scientist do it? Prabhupāda: No, we prove it as a living man and dead man, we give that proof. What is the difference between this dead man and living man? What is losing? What is missing? This is the proof. If. . . I so many times spoken that son is crying, "My father is gone. My father. . ." "Where is your father gone? He is lying here. So what is gone? You have not seen it." This is the proof. Why do you cry, "Father is gone"? Father is lying here. Why do you say "gone"? So that means what is gone, you have never seen it. Now you perceive, "Yes, something was there. Now he is gone." This is the proof." |
