Girirāja: He said the population will go on increasing more and more, and there won't be enough food, so everyone will starve.
Prabhupāda: He said, the scientist. Then what your scientific knowledge will help?
Brahmānanda: Well, if they drop some bombs they will reduce the population. (laughter)
Prabhupāda: That is very easy. The bomb is also ready. Everyone has got now nuclear weapon, bomb. So the scientists gave the solution. So what is the use of scientific knowledge? This is going to happen.
Brahmānanda: Actually there was one proposal, it was written in the seventeenth century in England by one famous writer that, "Because the population is increasing so much, therefore if we become cannibals, then the population will be maintained."
Yaśomatīnandana: So who will eat who?
Brahmānanda: Well, that he didn't say.
Prabhupāda: These are scientists, big men.
Girirāja: So the reporter asked him what were his personal plans for the future. So he said he likes one girl, so he wants to get married, and that's all.
Brahmānanda: Increase the population. (laughter)
Prabhupāda: Our plan is the best, because before meeting such catastrophes, go back to home, back to Godhead. This is the best. They are seeing the catastrophe, but they have no way to escape. That is the difference between them and ourselves. (aside) Jaya. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. (break) . . . said that, "There is no need of God, but there is need of girl, of a girl." He said that. Yes. Then what is the difference between a scientist and a dog? The dog also does not know what is God, but another female dog he wants. Huh? What is the difference? Sa eva go-kharaḥ (SB 10.84.13). Then it is proved that he is no better than animal. The animal requires another opposite sex, but he does not know God. Then where is the difference?
