Conversations and Morning Walks

1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

Haṁsadūta: This week is the big world football matches. So everyone goes to see that. They either stay at home and watch television or they go to the fields. Prabhupāda: Because they have been taught like that. What is their fault? They do not know the importance of human life. "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy." That's all. And then become a dog. That's all. They do not know. And they say, "Never mind I shall become a dog. After all, I will forget everything.".

Prabhupāda: (aside) Good morning. Hare Kṛṣṇa. So last night our explanation was right?

Professor Durckheim: Yes. Lots of people of the country was in the football, was going in the football.

Prabhupāda: There are so many planets, so many different standard of life. Nothing. They do not know anything.

Professor Durckheim: But the other planets has a more spiritual form than our planet.

Prabhupāda: No. Material forms. Just like in the water, the fish is there. That is also material form. But you cannot live within the water, neither the fish cannot live on the land. So in different planets there are different types of atmosphere and different types of body also. You cannot go to the sun planet, you cannot go to the moon planet, because that is a different atmosphere. But there are living entities, they have got their suitable body.

Professor Durckheim: But I think for the people it is difficult to understand.
