Karandhara: Well, see, they use that, because they've made relative successes. Śyāmasundara: They have mechanical hearts also.
Prabhupāda: So then why people die? Put mechanical heart; make… Karandhara: They say, "We've done things in the past..." Prabhupāda: Ah? Karandhara: "We've made successes in the past, and there is no reason why we won't be able to make successes in the future." Śyāmasundara: What success?
Prabhupāda: Nonsense. Childish. [laughs] Śyāmasundara: They have a mechanical heart for people whose hearts fail. "If we install it in their heart, they could live." Prabhupāda: That… Our reply is that it is not the heart, but the soul.
The soul has to live in this body, so you change the heart, he'll go and transfer himself to the heart. It is not the heart; it is the soul. That is..., that confirms that there is a soul, particular soul, who has got a span of life. Now you change this chair in the room.
I have to live for so many days. Suppose I am sitting in one chair; you change the chair. That's all. I am not the chair. Śyāmasundara: They sit back down again.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Karandhara: Well, they say that because that soul cannot be dissected, or chemically analyzed, therefore they won't accept [indistinct]. Prabhupāda: But you see it is existing. Your knowledge is imperfect. You cannot do it. But that it is existing, that is the proof. Śyāmasundara: Theoretically they accepted anti-matter before they could [indistinct coversation between devotees]. Karandhara: [indistinct] Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.
So this way he said, "Oh, apple is falling, so because of the laws of gravitation." [laughter] And if he asked, "Who is causing this apple fall down...?" Prabhupāda: Who has caused the… Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes. He… Prabhupāda: …law of gravitation. Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes. Then he should have accepted that as… Prabhupāda: Then he is foolish. [break] ...Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we have to deal with so many fools and rascals.
