Prabhupāda: So I don't speak I am authorized. I have studied both ways.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's what makes your books so unique—that others might have had some scholarly knowledge, but you have so much experience and realization packed into those books that it's so appealing, the scholars delight in reading the purports.
Prabhupāda: Scholars, they theorize. I say practical. Scholars want to say . . . want to show how much their imaginative power is strong. That's all. And they all speak nonsense—Ramakrishna. And my point of view is how to give people practical hints so that they may be raised from this rotten condition.
Śatadhanya: You are compassionate.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Tathā vinoda. I have done on reality. I want to establish reality, not imagination. What is the use of giving some imaginative idea, just like this rascal Darwin? Everything rascal. No practical value. And he has written volumes of books, and people are accepting, "From monkey, man has come." That's all. But monkey is there; man is there. Where monkey is extinct? The whole theory is absolutely bogus, and people have accepted it. I never believed that. Anthropo . . . anthropomor . . . No? The . . .?
Upendra: Anthropomorphism.
Prabhupāda: And . . . what do you call, this science?
Śatadhanya: Anthropology.
Prabhupāda: Anthropology. Anthropology we believe; as it is stated in the Vedas, we believe, one after another. Jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarāḥ . . . (Padma Purāṇa). That is the . . . the soul is changing. So there is no question of . . . "Survival of the fittest," nonsense. Who is fit?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No one except the devotee is fit.
Prabhupāda: Everyone is dying. Who is the fittest?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The devotee is alone eternal.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore, but for the devotees, they do not know. They are all rascals, animals. But here, this statement, "fittest," who is fittest?
