Find the Supreme Brain behind creation, not the chemicals already working perfectly without your knowledge.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation with Svarūpa Dāmodara — February 28, 1975, Atlanta 750228R1-ATLANTA [41:07 Minutes] Conv_750228R1-ATLANTA Prabhupāda: ...Is it not fact? If sexual intercourse is the beginning of life, then why it is not always successful? We say that when the life, living entity, is there in the semina and it is put into the woman's womb, then body develops. Therefore, the beginning is the life.
This is practical. And this life is the part and parcel of the supreme life. Therefore the beginning is God. Janmādy asya yataḥ [SB 1.1.1].
Athāto brahma jijñāsā. So we have to establish this theory in this misguided world that... And besides that, why they cannot produce life from matter? What is the value of their statement?
That they have not been able to do. Where is the proof that from matter life comes? You do it. Svarūpa Dāmodara: Proof is under investigation. [laughter] Prabhupāda: Eh?
That is nonsense. That is nonsense. This proof, that from life, life is coming, there is proof, so many proof. A man, animal, trees—everything is coming from life.
Up till now, nobody has seen that a man is born from a stone. Nobody has seen. Sometimes the... it is called vṛścika-taṇdūla-nyāya. You know that?
Vṛścika-taṇdūla-nyāya. Vṛścika means scorpion, and taṇdūla means rice. Sometimes we see some heaps of rice, the scorpion is coming. But that is not that the rice has given birth to the scorpion.
