Room Conversation with Malcolm — July 18, 1973, London 730718R1-LONDON [56:10 Minutes] Conv_730718R1-LONDON Prabhupāda: So what is that origin of all things? Malcolm: [pause] You ask me something for which I have no words.

Prabhupāda: [laughs] Yes. Our searching is... Not searching. We take the origin of everything: Kṛṣṇa.

In the Bhagavad-gītā... [aside:] Call Paṇḍitjī. Find out the verse, ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate. [Prabhupāda is eating an orange] Just like in this orange, there is water, very nice, tasteful.

How it generated? [pause] [Pradyumna enters, offers obeisances] ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate iti matvā bhajante māṁ budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ [Bg. 10.8] Pradyumna: "I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts." Prabhupāda: This, origin.

So as a scientist, what is your opinion upon this? Malcolm: It is not for me to speak.

Prabhupāda: Eh? Malcolm: It is not for me to speak.

Prabhupāda: Huh? Malcolm: It is not for me to speak.
