750626 - Morning Walk - Los Angeles

Prabhupāda: Three hours. I was there. Up to eleven o'clock at night there is sun, and then perhaps twelve or half past eleven, there is night. That is also not full dark. And at three o'clock, again sun. So how many hours? Eleven to three. (break) . . . above Sweden there is no night tonight.

Brahmānanda: Yes. (break)

Prabhupāda: There is no day?

Brahmānanda: Yes. (break) . . . sociological problems there. Because when it's all night, people become very depressed and there's a high suicide rate. So they have been trying to have these artificially lights to light up the cities and make it appear as if it was daytime.

Jayatīrtha: Why not just make one big sun, big scientists?

Prabhupāda: (laughs) Still they do not accept God. (break) . . . ājñayā bhramati sambhṛta-kāla-cakro (Bs. 5.52). Everything is. (break) . . . cribing the whole universal situation, Śukadeva Gosvāmī concluded, "As God has made it." He never mentioned any other demigod. "As God has made it." Yathā bhagavān kriyetām. (break) . . . not to accept the authority of Kṛṣṇa, misfortune. Narādhama.

(break) (on walk)

(japa) . . . kara bhai, ara saba mithyā, palaya patha nara yo mache piche(?): "Everyone should take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Remember, behind you there is the Yamarāja, death." (break) . . . to avoid this horrible conception that there is death, and they avoid this, that "There is death, but there is no life again." That's all. (break) . . . this dog race, and what is the rat race? There is a word, rat race?

Jayatīrtha: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: What is it?

Jayatīrtha: That describes the modern culture. Everyone runs around like rats in a maze, looking for food. It's a psychological test. They put rats in a maze, and at one end of the maze they put some food. So the rats run all through the maze trying to find the food.
