Mind is subtle matter. Bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir. Bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā (BG 7.4). They are separated five material energies. Apareyam: they are inferior. Those who are in the mental platform, they are also inferior. The so-called philosopher, scientist and others, they are on the mental platform. Therefore they're inferior, apareyam. These eight elements, those who are dealing with these eight elements—aparā, inferior. And they are advertising that "We are superior." "The spiritual consciousness is brainwashed. We are superior." This is the fault. Of the inferior position, they are claiming superior position. Apareyam itas tu viddhi . . . and Kṛṣṇa is giving practical example: "Apareyam: this is inferior. Beyond this there is a superior nature. What is that? Jīva bhūta." Immediately. And still the rascal cannot understand what is superior, inferior.

Indian lady: (indistinct Hindi) . . . Aapka application de diya hai. kal mai delhi ja rahi hoon . . . (Your application is submitted. Tomorrow I am going to Delhi . . .)

Prabhupada: Accha theek hai. kijiye bahut seva aur jitna seva kijiyega bhagvan utna hi santusht hoga. (Okay, alright. Do a lot of service and the more service you do, God will be so much pleased.)
