Leadership and maintenance are universal necessities; therefore God, the perfect supreme authority, must exist.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — December 16, 1973, Los Angeles 731216MW-LOS ANGELES [50:39 Minutes] Walk_731216MW-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: ...need of God or not? Whether there is need of God? Prajāpati: The scientists say no, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: That is rascaldom. Prajāpati: They say there's neither need nor usefulness.
Prabhupāda: That is their rascaldom. What is your opinion, scientist? There is need of God. Svarūpa Dāmodara: They may say that there is no necessity, but the fact is that there must be.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Svarūpa Dāmodara: Otherwise they..., we cannot conceive of how things are going on.
Prabhupāda: Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām [Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13]. Just like in the modern days, government, they have abolished monarchism, but still, why they elect a president? Why? Prajāpati: Must be leadership.
Prabhupāda: Must be. That is the point. If you have abolished monarchy, then why you are electing another rascal to become a monarch? What is the answer?
Why do you need it? Svarūpa Dāmodara: Because they need law and order.
