Prabhupāda: Svarūpa Dāmodara is real scientist. He is admitting. That is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. What is that? Yad uttama śloka-guṇanuvarṇanam.
- idaṁ hi puṁsas tapasaḥ śrutasya vā
- sviṣṭasya sūktasya ca buddhi-dattayoḥ
- avicyuto 'rthaḥ kavibhir nirūpito
- yad uttamaśloka-guṇānuvarṇanam
- (SB 1.5.22)
Puṁsa, "of the human society"; sviṣṭasya, "education." Idaṁ hi puṁsas tapasaḥ śrutasya, sviṣṭasya, ca buddhi-dattayoḥ. Whatever big, big activities are there—education, charity, tapasya . . . why these things are required? What is the meaning of becoming advanced in such things? Avicyuto 'rthaḥ. Avicyuto 'rthaḥ: "Without any doubt, the artha, the conclusion, is that they should describe the wonderful activities of the Supreme Person." Then it is perfect education. And these rascals, they are saying, "Now we don't require God."
Dr. Patel: No, sir, but these great scientists like Huxley were all . . .
Prabhupāda: No. . .
Dr. Patel: They have realized the working of God in every atom, to tell the truth. It was so some fifty years back that the scientists did not believe in the existence and working of God, but they have much changed now.
Prabhupāda: That means they were foolish; now they are coming to be wise.
Dr. Patel: But they have died out, the previous generation. Now the new generation.
Prabhupāda: No, still there are, so many rascals.
Dr. Patel: There cannot be uniformity of . . .
Prabhupāda: So many rascals. That one scientist came to talk with me in California. And he: "God? What is God? We have now solved everything."
