ndian man (2): Mahārāja, in the context of the universe, the technological and scientific advancement is very, very insignificant. But as far as human beings are concerned, they feel that they have achieved great deal.
Prabhupāda: What? You cannot give life.
Indian man (2): Because there is a change from the past. So they feel that there is a difference. But that is at a very low level...
Prabhupāda: That is my point, that you are becoming so much proud of your technological, but what you have done?
Indian man (2): It is very insignificant.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is my point. Why you become falsely proud that you have done so advancement that you don't care for God, don't care for the original manufacturer? That is your fault.
Guest (2): The other day there was a doctor who had come from America for transplantation of kidney, and he has given a lecture in the Rotary Club. I was there. Now they give so much importance to the person who is able to transplant kidney from one body to the other, but how about the whole human being or the universe which has been created by God? Now, this is just a very, very insignificant thing which is already there which is just transplanted. But they feel so happy and proud.
Prabhupāda: That is my point, falsely proud.
Indian man (3): And Mahārāja, are they able to increase the life by a single moment?
Prabhupāda: They cannot.
Indian man (3): They say they have achieved so much. Are they able to increase it by even a single moment?
Prabhupāda: No. This breathing is given there, that "You must breathe so many million times. Bās, finished." Just like you wind the watch. It will run or go round so many times. As soon as the finish, then stop.
Indian man (2): Unwound, it is finished.
