Everyone in this material world, they're born foolish; still they're manufacturing knowledge. That is cheating. That is going on. The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers.

That is our system. We are taking knowledge from Kṛṣṇa. We are taking knowledge from Bhāgavatam. Therefore our knowledge is perfect. We are taking authority. As we are, we are defective. Our position is sometimes we do mistake—"Two plus two equal to five." But it is not fact. So two plus two must be four. But if we make "five" or "three," that means the whole background becomes wrong. That is . . . we are liable to do that mistake. And illusion. Illusion means two plus two equal to four, I have written "five," but I am seeing it is all right. That is illusion. I'm seeing it is all right: "two." Therefore one should not correct himself. Another person should take the editorial correction work, because the man who has written, he sees that it is right. So this is called illusion.

So to commit mistake, to get into illusion, overpowered by illusion, and cheating. Cheating means you have made mistake, "Two plus two equal to five." "Yes," you're persisting, "Yes, it is right." That is cheating. Everyone in this material world, they're born foolish; still they're manufacturing knowledge. That is cheating. That is going on. The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers, their basic principle is wrong, and they're presenting some theories, and that is being accepted by people. That is cheating. That is cheating. For example, just like the insistence of the scientist that, "Life is production of matter." They have no experience, neither they can make any experiment in the laboratory that from matter one can produce life. But every child knows that, "My father is life and my mother is life, so I am produced by that combination. I am also life." So life comes from life. The dead body of father, the dead body of mother cannot produce. Any man can understand. Very simple thing. But these rascal so-called scientist, they're insisting that life is produced from matter. You see? Insisting, simply. Their only idea that prove that there is no God. Imitation.
