Where Is My Moscow? - Prabhupada 0821

731201 - Lecture SB 01.15.21 - Los Angeles

In Delhi, when I presented in some library my book Easy Journey to Other Planet, so one gentleman met, "You have got, written some book, Easy Journey to Other Planet?" "Yes." "Then we shall go and come back?" "No, why you shall come back?" "No, no, then I don't want." (laughter) The rascal wants to go to other planet and come back. They are doing actually. They are going to the so-called moon planet and coming back. The first aeronautics from Russia, when he was far, far away, he was just looking after, "Where is my Moscow? Where is my Moscow?" You see? This is our intelligence. You may go far away. There is an example. Just like the vultures, they have got a very good eyesight. Very good eyesight. You . . . seven miles away from the surface, they can see where there is a dead corpse. So they have got good eyesight, but they are searching after dead corpse only. That is their business.

So these so-called scientists, philosophers, they are very much advanced, but their only business is how to become happy in this planet. That's all. That is their . . . not mahātmā. Durātmā. Their mind is not very broad.
