Story 20 Jackal king
PRABHUPĀDA: Nobody wants to die.
So, the scientist cannot give any relief from death.
They are talking simply superficially.
They cannot give any relief from death.
But my real problem is death.
I do not wish to die.
I do not wish to become old man.
What scientists can help me?
I do not wish to become diseased.
What the scientist can help me?
I do not wish to take birth.
These things; they cannot do anything.
Major problem they have set aside.
And they are, what is called, jackal.
Yes.
There is there… There is a story of the jackal.
He became the king of the forest.
SVARŪPA DĀMODARA: [Hindi].
No; it is Sanskrit; Ha!
And in Bengal it is called vane āsiyā rāja [?].
“In the forest a jackal has become king.”
They are like that.

When…
There is big story about this jackal; I will tell you some.
[A] jackal came in the village and he fell in the tub where…
What is called… That… For coloring?
DEVOTEES: Dye. Bluing? Bluing.
Blue; blue; blue…
So the washerman kept the dye water in a big tub, and the jackal fell in it.
So jackal fell in it; he became blue: All blue.
So, he fled away, and all the animals said, “What is this animal; what is the animal?
What is the animal; huh?”
All the… Even [the] lion became surprised.
“We have not seen this animal.”
“So, who are you, sir?”
“I am sent by God to rule over you.”
“Oh?”
So they began to worship him as God, as leader.
Then, one day [the] other jackals…
They were crying, “Wa, wa,” but the jackals cannot stop.
If other jackals cry, the jackal cannot stop.
So he also began to “Wa, wa.”
Oh, then, they, oh, this rascal is a jackal.
Tāvac ca śobhate mūrkho yāvat kiñcin na bhāṣate [Bengali].
So these rascals are jackals.
Now they are talking nonsense.
We can detect that, “Here is a jackal.”
So we have to expose them.
They are not leader; they are jackals.
