True scientists should glorify the Supreme Scientist through devotional service, not deny God through false pride.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation with Press Representative — March 21, 1975, Calcutta 750321R1-CALCUTTA [46:34 Minutes] Conv_750321R1-CALCUTTA Prabhupāda: ...different desires, they are getting different conditions of life. Therefore we find so many species and forms of life. Guest [Indian Press Representative]: Is it possible, some of our..., is it possible on the spiritual platform?
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the only platform where...
Prabhupāda: Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ [Bg. 5.18]. Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati, samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu [Bg. 18.54]. That is after being brahma-bhūtaḥ.
Guest: But are all religions following? There are so many sects.
Prabhupāda: According to... No, why according? This is fact. Religion which is not on the samyavāda, that is not religion.
That is some mental concoction. This samyavāda platform is described in the Bhagavad-gītā, as I have quoted already, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā [Bg. 18.54]. When one is spiritually realized, that is called brahma-bhūtaḥ, and the symptom is prasannātmā. So when one is prasannātmā, naturally he is on the samyavāda platform.
On the material platform, nobody is prasannātmā. Nobody.
