RC STO 1973-09-10 Psychiatrist--Ours Is a Psychiatric Movement
1
00:01.848 --> 00:05.805
ANNOUNCER: Next is a conversation
between His Divine Grace
2
00:05.806 --> 00:09.680
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
3
00:09.681 --> 00:20.751
and a psychiatrist, recorded September
10th, 1973, in Stockholm, Sweden.
4
00:20.752 --> 00:22.746
PRABHUPĀDA: What your… What do you think?
5
00:22.747 --> 00:25.820
That life is a product of chemicals?
6
00:25.821 --> 00:27.015
Do you mean to say?
7
00:27.016 --> 00:29.937
- DR. HAUSER: That is what I’ve been taught. Yes.
8
00:29.938 --> 00:33.415
About the evolution of the earth. And… Therefore, if…
9
00:33.416 --> 00:34.745
…all the different stages of life.
10
00:34.746 --> 00:36.988
Do you think that’s a fact…
11
00:36.989 --> 00:40.628
It’s not a fact. I don’t know
whether it’s a fact. I… But that’s…
12
00:40.629 --> 00:43.783
Then that means illusioned.
13
00:43.784 --> 00:49.936
You are not confident, but you accept that theory.
14
00:49.937 --> 00:57.869
This is illusion.
15
00:57.870 --> 01:00.763
But… Yes.
16
01:00.764 --> 01:06.070
But… But you should apply
your reason, from practical life,
17
01:06.071 --> 01:15.754
whether life is produced from matter,
or matter is produced from life.
18
01:15.755 --> 01:30.857
Our proposition is: matter is produced
from life, not life is produced from matter.
19
01:30.858 --> 01:35.652
In the Vedānta-sūtra it is said:
Janmādy asya yataḥ [SB. 1.1.1].
20
01:35.653 --> 01:42.741
Absolute Truth is that from whom
or from which everything emanates.
21
01:42.742 --> 01:50.154
Now that Absolute Truth, whether he’s life or dead stone.
22
01:50.155 --> 01:51.905
So that is discussed:
23
01:51.906 --> 01:57.781
Janmādy asya yato ’nvayād itarataś cārtheṣv abhijñaḥ [SB 1.1.1].
24
01:57.782 --> 02:03.520
That Absolute Truth must be cognizant.
25
02:03.521 --> 02:08.884
So as soon as you say cognizant, then He’s alive.
26
02:08.885 --> 02:17.345
abhijñaḥ That, that means if I say:
27
02:17.346 --> 02:23.977
“I have produced all these things that is within the room.”
28
02:23.978 --> 02:27.832
Then means I must have brain.
29
02:27.833 --> 02:30.705
I must be experienced how to do it.
30
02:30.706 --> 02:35.696
How I can be dead, matter?
31
02:35.697 --> 02:40.639
Has the matter has got such thing?
32
02:40.640 --> 02:47.777
The origin of creation must be a living being.
33
02:47.778 --> 02:54.598
But somewhere… If I can… But in
this, there is also the creation of life,
34
02:54.599 --> 02:57.604
when…
35
02:57.605 --> 03:01.783
Where is that evidence, creation of life from matter?
36
03:01.784 --> 03:04.849
Is there any evidence in the history?
37
03:04.850 --> 03:06.308
No, but as we know,
38
03:06.309 --> 03:11.098
the evolution of life has gone through
different stages of… How do you…?
39
03:11.099 --> 03:12.499
Darwin’s theory.
40
03:12.500 --> 03:15.291
Do you mean to say, Darwin’s
theory? Yes, yes. That is nonsense.
41
03:15.292 --> 03:17.931
Darwin was a number-one nonsense.
42
03:17.932 --> 03:19.918
Yes.
43
03:19.919 --> 03:23.225
Rascal. He has confused the whole world.
44
03:23.226 --> 03:25.238
Hmm. Why…?
45
03:25.239 --> 03:26.766
Evolution of matter.
46
03:26.767 --> 03:28.136
Matter cannot evolve.
47
03:28.137 --> 03:28.996
That is not possible.
48
03:28.997 --> 03:30.763
But evolution of life…
49
03:30.764 --> 03:32.885
What is that life?
50
03:32.886 --> 03:35.006
That is different from matter.
51
03:35.007 --> 03:40.746
That is a different energy.
52
03:40.747 --> 03:42.168
That I am speaking.
53
03:42.169 --> 03:48.561
Matter is… Life is the origin of matter.
54
03:48.562 --> 03:53.507
The evolution is not of the matter, but of the life.
55
03:53.508 --> 03:54.696
That Darwin does not know.
56
03:54.697 --> 03:56.920
Therefore I say nonsense.
57
03:56.921 --> 04:03.397
He does not know that.
58
04:03.398 --> 04:04.493
Yes.
59
04:04.494 --> 04:06.768
But I feel in the…
60
04:06.769 --> 04:10.307
Just like this is an apartment.
61
04:10.308 --> 04:16.517
So from this apartment, you go to another apartment.
62
04:16.518 --> 04:23.478
It does not mean that this apartment has evolved to that apartment.
63
04:23.479 --> 04:29.817
I, the person, I create that apartment, or I prefer that apartment.
64
04:29.818 --> 04:34.240
Not that this apartment has evolved into that apartment.
65
04:34.241 --> 04:35.855
Yes, I can see what you mean. Yes. Yes.
66
04:35.856 --> 04:38.174
Darwin’s nonsense is there.
67
04:38.175 --> 04:40.120
He is changing the apartment.
68
04:40.121 --> 04:43.093
Apartment is becoming a different apartment.
69
04:43.094 --> 04:48.323
That is not a fact.
70
04:48.324 --> 04:50.547
Just try to understand.
71
04:50.548 --> 04:55.112
This room cannot develop into another room.
72
04:55.113 --> 05:00.807
But I, the resident of this room, I can go from this apartment to another apartment.
73
05:00.808 --> 05:03.877
Or I can create another apartment.
74
05:03.878 --> 05:06.337
This is evolution.
75
05:06.338 --> 05:08.510
And I can create a bigger apartment.
76
05:08.511 --> 05:13.056
Yes, bigger, smaller, as I like.
77
05:13.057 --> 05:15.425
Not necessarily bigger.
78
05:15.426 --> 05:16.331
That is also another nonsense.
79
05:16.332 --> 05:19.148
My intelligence might grow also.
80
05:19.149 --> 05:20.151
Intelligence, maybe.
81
05:20.152 --> 05:23.076
But there must be means.
82
05:23.077 --> 05:28.288
You may be very intelligent, but if you have
no means to erect another nice apartment,
83
05:28.289 --> 05:31.591
how it will?
84
05:31.592 --> 05:32.544
Trial and error.
85
05:32.545 --> 05:33.180
Eh?
86
05:33.181 --> 05:34.219
Trial and error.
87
05:34.220 --> 05:40.150
Just like you have got the desire to purchase another dress, garment,
88
05:40.151 --> 05:45.973
nicer, but if you have no money, then how can purchase?
89
05:45.974 --> 05:51.009
You have to purchase something inferior.
90
05:51.010 --> 05:57.870
So these different species of life
is the evolution of the living soul
91
05:57.871 --> 06:00.239
according to his karma.
92
06:00.240 --> 06:01.530
That is Vedic instruction.
93
06:01.531 --> 06:06.607
Karmaṇā daiva- netreṇa [SB 3.31.1].
94
06:06.608 --> 06:10.189
So I am a living entity.
95
06:10.190 --> 06:18.186
If I want to go to better condition of life, then I’ll have to pay for it.
96
06:18.187 --> 06:21.397
Better condition is there already.
97
06:21.398 --> 06:25.917
Not this inferior condition changes into that better condition.
98
06:25.918 --> 06:30.432
That is another thing.
99
06:30.433 --> 06:34.335
Just like the condition in moon planet is different
100
06:34.336 --> 06:36.284
from the condition of this earthly planet.
101
06:36.285 --> 06:38.649
That is already there.
102
06:38.650 --> 06:47.827
You have to transfer yourself from this planet to that planet.
103
06:47.828 --> 06:53.341
So that point is missing in Darwin’s theory.
104
06:53.342 --> 06:56.120
He says that body is evolving.
105
06:56.121 --> 06:59.402
That is nonsense.
106
06:59.403 --> 07:00.411
The body is evolving,
107
07:00.412 --> 07:02.113
then why the monkey body
108
07:02.114 --> 07:07.920
is not producing a human
body at the present moment?
109
07:07.921 --> 07:09.857
Where is the evidence?
110
07:09.858 --> 07:12.649
The monkeys are already there.
111
07:12.650 --> 07:19.778
Where is the evidence in the zoo
that a monkey has produced a human being?
112
07:19.779 --> 07:25.908
Do you think it is all right?
113
07:25.909 --> 07:31.307
Yes, that, that life might have taken
different forms, that I’m quite sure of.
114
07:31.308 --> 07:34.708
And that the human being
might not have existed for about
115
07:34.709 --> 07:35.421
a hundred thousand years ago.
116
07:35.422 --> 07:36.753
No human beings exists eternal.
117
07:36.754 --> 07:39.016
He’s existing.
118
07:39.017 --> 07:44.045
But he accepting, he’s accepting different situation.
119
07:44.046 --> 07:45.019
PARAMAHAṀSA: There’s proof of this
120
07:45.020 --> 07:47.677
in that recently there was a discovery in South America.
121
07:47.678 --> 07:49.269
I think it was in Kenya.
122
07:49.270 --> 07:53.184
Where they discovered a
skeletal remains that were over
123
07:53.185 --> 07:56.994
hundreds of thousands of years old that
was pre, what is it? Mag… What is it?
124
07:56.995 --> 07:58.001
HAṀSADŪTA: Pre-magnon.
125
07:58.002 --> 08:00.586
Pre-magnon, and it was the same human body as now,
126
08:00.587 --> 08:02.305
as we have now. They have discovered.
127
08:02.306 --> 08:04.096
And with this discovery, they say,
128
08:04.097 --> 08:08.254
completely all of Darwin’s theories have been destroyed.
129
08:08.255 --> 08:09.630
This is a fact.
130
08:09.631 --> 08:11.026
Immediately see.
131
08:11.027 --> 08:12.484
He overlooked.
132
08:12.485 --> 08:17.018
He says: “I do not see any proof that
human beings lived, millions of years ago.
133
08:17.019 --> 08:19.688
Therefore I think [indistinct] apes were existing.”
134
08:19.689 --> 08:20.743
But what proof does he have?
135
08:20.744 --> 08:24.040
And how they have discovered bones
and they have proven by tests that
136
08:24.041 --> 08:26.588
Pre-magnon era there was the same human body.
137
08:26.589 --> 08:31.857
It’s a fact. And completely his, all
his theories have been destroyed.
138
08:31.858 --> 08:35.634
Because he again, he was
working with his illusory senses.
139
08:35.635 --> 08:37.847
Hmm.
140
08:37.848 --> 08:42.312
But there are the dinosaurs for example.
141
08:42.313 --> 08:43.405
The dinosaurs, yes.
142
08:43.406 --> 08:46.419
Which died and disappeared from the earth.
143
08:46.420 --> 08:49.960
And that is also a kind of evolution that has taken place.
144
08:49.961 --> 08:53.013
He says there are these prehistoric animals like dinosaurs,
145
08:53.014 --> 08:54.442
these big, gigantic animals,
146
08:54.443 --> 08:58.068
they are no longer existing now, but they existed at one time.
147
08:58.069 --> 09:00.908
So there, there was some evolution there.
148
09:00.909 --> 09:02.989
Yes.
149
09:02.990 --> 09:06.564
But a… The point is Vedic, Vedic conclusion is that…
150
09:06.565 --> 09:10.882
No, but, apart from Vedic conclusion, this example,
151
09:10.883 --> 09:20.367
that practically, when I go from this apartment to another apartment,
152
09:20.368 --> 09:24.841
so this apartment does not become another apartment.
153
09:24.842 --> 09:27.960
I go from this apartment to another apartment.
154
09:27.961 --> 09:35.718
He’s missing that “I”. Or “you”. That is his nonsense.
155
09:35.719 --> 09:37.148
He’s only talking about apartments.
156
09:37.149 --> 09:38.853
Yes, that is his rascaldom.
157
09:38.854 --> 09:42.754
Yes, I can see what you mean.
158
09:42.755 --> 09:44.749
He does not know.
159
09:44.750 --> 09:48.155
The apartment does not change.
160
09:48.156 --> 09:52.255
The owner of the apartment goes from one apartment to another.
161
09:52.256 --> 09:54.034
That he does not know.
162
09:54.035 --> 09:55.311
Therefore he’s cheating.
163
09:55.312 --> 09:59.208
He does n… He has no perfect knowledge, and he’s cheating.
164
09:59.209 --> 10:02.726
Cheater.
165
10:02.727 --> 10:15.250
He does not know.
166
10:15.251 --> 10:20.713
The soul, from the monkey’s body is coming to human body.
167
10:20.714 --> 10:22.925
That is nice.
168
10:22.926 --> 10:28.538
Not that the monkey’s body is changing into human body.
169
10:28.539 --> 10:32.914
But some of this cheating, as you call it, must have,
170
10:32.915 --> 10:37.618
have still been a great use to mankind
171
10:37.619 --> 10:40.236
because it has not been proven at the time when
172
10:40.237 --> 10:44.719
this theory has been evoked by some scientist,
173
10:44.720 --> 10:46.099
it has not been proven that he’s right,
174
10:46.100 --> 10:48.137
but he works according to this principle
that he has got, and then later…
175
10:48.138 --> 10:57.106
Yes. That, that is explained in
Bhāgavatam that in the jungle
176
10:57.107 --> 11:00.388
one big animal is the leader of other animals.
177
11:00.389 --> 11:08.475
That’s all. But they’re animals. Is it not?
178
11:08.476 --> 11:09.472
But I don’t really understand.
179
11:09.473 --> 11:11.287
In the jungle, in the forest,…
180
11:11.288 --> 11:11.769
Yes.
181
11:11.770 --> 11:16.993
…the lion is considered to be the king of animals.
182
11:16.994 --> 11:22.075
So lion is also animal, only big animal.
183
11:22.076 --> 11:23.149
That’s all.
184
11:23.150 --> 11:24.508
So you mean the scientist is a big lion.
185
11:24.509 --> 11:31.262
Yes. A big rascal. That’s it. A big rascal.
186
11:31.263 --> 11:35.294
A big rascal is eulogized by small rascals. That’s all.
187
11:35.295 --> 11:36.585
Seducing a small rascal.
188
11:36.586 --> 11:36.949
Eh?
189
11:36.950 --> 11:37.674
Seducing a small rascal.
190
11:37.675 --> 11:54.523
No. This is the position.
191
11:54.524 --> 11:57.125
Everything is going on like that.
192
11:57.126 --> 12:01.532
Not only in science, philosophy, religion, sociology, politics.
193
12:01.533 --> 12:12.025
The, a big rascal and small rascal. That’s all.
194
12:12.026 --> 12:14.812
But you must evoke quite a lot of
feelings when you say, for example,
195
12:14.813 --> 12:17.372
that Einstein was a very big rascal.
196
12:17.373 --> 12:18.195
No.
197
12:18.196 --> 12:22.658
He believed in God. Yes. He believed in God.
198
12:22.659 --> 12:26.014
He was not a rascal. A sane man.
199
12:26.015 --> 12:26.882
Carl Jung also.
200
12:26.883 --> 12:29.846
Yes. He believed in God.
201
12:29.847 --> 12:31.037
Yes.
202
12:31.038 --> 12:34.429
He tried to find out the brain of God.
203
12:34.430 --> 12:39.858
So he’s not rascal. He’s sane man.
204
12:39.859 --> 12:51.640
Those who are defying God, they’re rascal, demons.
205
12:51.641 --> 12:54.237
Einstein believed in God. Yes.
206
12:54.238 --> 13:02.087
There are many scientists, they believe in God.
207
13:02.088 --> 13:03.566
Harāv abhaktasya kuto [SB 5.18.12].
208
13:03.567 --> 13:06.944
Unless one is God conscious, he’s a rascal.
209
13:06.945 --> 13:13.424
Immediately, take it. We take it like that.
210
13:13.425 --> 13:26.777
As soon as you say godless,
atheist, oh, a rascal. That’s all.
211
13:26.778 --> 13:31.798
It may be the understanding of God is not so perfect.
212
13:31.799 --> 13:37.721
But he thinks there is God. That is intelligence.
213
13:37.722 --> 13:42.753
That is intelligence.
214
13:42.754 --> 13:48.716
And the demons will never accept God.
215
13:48.717 --> 13:59.373
Just like in Russia. All set of rascals.
They do not believe in God.
216
13:59.374 --> 14:02.955
But the interest… The religious interest in Russia is,
217
14:02.956 --> 14:06.489
is greater than in any other country in Europe.
218
14:06.490 --> 14:08.730
But not the, the leaders are not…
219
14:08.731 --> 14:13.892
I say the leaders. Not only in Russia. Everywhere.
220
14:13.893 --> 14:23.845
The leaders, the rascal leaders
spoiling the whole world situation.
221
14:23.846 --> 14:23.847
