Prabhupäda: Sweet
will help you digest. Don't give three-at least four.
George Harrison: I won't
be able to eat much more.
Prabhupäda: Three
is given to the enemy. According to our Indian system, if
you give somebody three,
that means he is enemy.
George Harrison: Oh,
really? I always liked the number three.
Prabhupäda: (laughs)
You must give at least four.
============ REF. Conversation with George Harrison -- July 26, 1976, London
Reincarnation
The Goal of Human Life
Srila Prabhupada: The
goal of human life is self-realization, or God
realization, but the
scientists do not know that. Modern society is presently
led by blind and foolish
men. The so-called technologists, scientists, and
philosophers do not
know the real aim of life. And the people themselves
are blind as well; so
we have a situation in which the blind are leading the
blind. If a blind man
tries to lead another blind man, what type of results
can we expect? No; this
is not the process. One must approach a self-
realized person if he
wants to understand the truth.
[More guests enter the room.]
Disciple: Srila Prabhupada,
these gentlemen are professors of theology and
philosophy. And this
is Doctor Dara. He is the leader of a society for study
of
yoga and integral philosophy
here in Germany.
[Srila Prabhupada greets them and the conversation resumes.]
Prof. Durckheim: May
I ask another question? Isn't there another level of
experience that opens
the door to some deeper consciousness for the
common man?
Srila Prabhupada: Yes.
That experience is described by Krsna in Bhagavad-
gita [2.13]:
dehino 'smin yatha dehe
kaumaram yauvanam jara
tatha dehantara-praptir
dhiras tatra na muhyati
"As the embodied soul
continually passes in this body from boyhood to
youth to old age, the
soul similarly passes into another body at death. The
self-realized soul is
not bewildered by such a change."
But first one must understand
the basic principle of knowledge -- that I am
not this body. When
one understands this basic principle, then he can
advance to deeper knowledge.
Prof. Durckheim: It seems
to me that there is a big difference between the
Eastern and Western
approaches to this problem of body and soul. In the
teachings of the East,
you have to become free of the body, whereas in
Western religions, a
person tries to realize the spirit within the body.
Srila Prabhupada: This
is very easy to understand. We have heard from
Bhagavad-gita that we
are spirit, that we are within the body. Our sufferings
come about because of
our identification with the body. Because I have
entered into this body,
therefore I am suffering. So, either Eastern or
Western, my real business
should be how to get out of this body. Is that
point clear?
Prof. Durckheim: Yes.
Srila Prabhupada: The
term reincarnation means that I am a spirit soul who
has entered a body.
But in my next life I can enter another body. It may be
a dog's body, it may
be a cat's body, or it may be a king's body. But there
will be suffering --
either in the king's body or in the dog's body. These
sufferings include birth,
death, old age, and disease. So in order to abolish
these four kinds of
suffering, we have to get out of the body. That is man's
real problem -- how
to get out of his material body.
Prof. Durckheim: This takes many lives?
Srila Prabhupada: It
can take many lives, or you can do it in one lifetime.
If
you understand in this
life that your sufferings are due to this body, then
you should inquire how
to get out of the body. And when you get that
knowledge, you will
know the trick -- how to get out of the body
immediately.
Prof. Durckheim: But
that doesn't mean that I have to kill the body, does it?
Doesn't it mean that
I realize my spirit is independent from my body?
Srila Prabhupadaa: No;
it isn't necessary that the body be killed. But
whether your body is
killed or not, someday you will have to leave your
present body and accept
another one. That is nature's law, and you cannot
avoid it.
Prof. Durckheim: It seems
that there are some points here which are in
accordance with Christianity
as well.
Srila Prabhupada: It
doesn't matter whether you are Christian, Muslim, or
Hindu. Knowledge is
knowledge. Wherever knowledge is available, you
must pick it up. And
this is knowledge -- every living being is imprisoned
within a material body.
This knowledge applies equally to Hindus, Muslims,
Christians -- everyone.
The soul is imprisoned within the body and must
therefore undergo birth,
death, old age, and disease. But we all want to
live eternally, we want
full knowledge, we want full blissfulness. To attain
this goal we must get
out of the body. This is the process.
Professor Dara: You stress
the point that we must get out of the body. But
shouldn't we accept
our existence as human beings?
Srila Prabhupada: You
propose accepting our existence as human beings.
Do you think that existing
within this human body is perfect?
Prof. Dara: No, I don't
say it is perfect. But we should accept this and not
try to create some ideal
situation.

RADHABALLABHA KACHORIS
ghee for deep frying
cayenne pepper
1 cup of cleaned, split
urad dahl
asafoetida
2 cups white flour
salt
2 T. freshly ground
anise seed
butter or ghee solids
Wash urad dahl thoroughly.
Soak in water overnight. Drain, leaving a tiny
bit of water. In a blender,
grind urad dahl until it is a smooth paste,
adding a little more
water if necessary. The paste should be very thick.
Set aside. Add anise
seed to paste. Using white flour, butter or ghee
solids and water, make
a soft dough, like puri dough. (Not wet.) Let the
dough sit for one hour
under a dampened cloth. Meanwhile prepare three very
small bowls in the following
manner:
1. Put in a mixture
of 1 T. water and 1/2 t. asafoetida.
2. Put plain salt
in the second.
3. Put cayenne
pepper in the third.
Pinch off balls of dough
one inch in diameter. Roll them out into circles
of 2 1/2" (inches) in
diameter. Pinch off a ball of kachori paste about one
inch in diameter; dip
into each of bowls in succession, and place in the
center of the circle
of kachori dough. Gather up the dough around the paste
as you would gather
a paper bag. Make sure all the urad dahl is covered,
and seal the top edge
very well using a little water. Flatten the sealed
kachori with a rolling
pin, and then roll gently as you would a puri or
capati.
Be very careful not to
break the surfaces. If necessary, pat them out by
hand. Deep-fry the kachori
in fairly hot ghee as you would a puri. Stand up
kachoris on paper toweling
to drain. Before offering them, refry very
quickly, but do not
brown.
This preparation is one
of Srimati Radharani's favorites and is always
prepared for Her appearance
day. There is nothing in the material world to
compare with the flavor
of Radhaballabha Kachoris.

Science Jokes:
Some tourists in the
Chicago Museum of Natural History are marveling at the
dinosaur bones. One
of them asks the guard, "Can you tell me how old the
dinosaur bones are?"
The guard replies, "They are 3 million, four years, and six months old."
"That's an awfully exact
number," says the tourist. "How do you know their
age so precisely?"
The guard answers, "Well,
the dinosaur bones were three million years old
when I started working
here, and that was four and a half years ago."

I read in a newspaper
in India in 1984 that when one atheistic scientist
from the former Soviet
Union came to Calcutta and was being driven in his
car across town. As
he came through the busy Bara Bazaar area with the
cars, trams buses, trucks
and rickshaws dodging each other tooting horns
without crashing he
was heard to declare, "There must be a God, someone has
to be in control of
this.................!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A scientist comes into
his lab' and asks a colleague, "What's good for a
head ache?"
"Have you tried a hammer?"
was the reply.

Television has destroyed
relationships in the family, it used to be that
people would sit and
talk, play games together, and interact more as a family.
Last week we found
out that the woman whose been watching television with
us in the lounge for
the past eight years was a complete stranger. My wife
thought it was my mother,
and I thought it was hers.
